thomson's edward and eleanora.
    farewell, old scotia's bleak domains,
    far dearer than the torrid plains,
    where rich ananas blow!
    farewell, a mother's blessing dear!
    a borther's sigh! a sister's tear!
    my jean's heart-rending throe!
    farewell, my bess! tho' thou'rt bereft
    of my paternal care.
    a faithful brother i have left,
    my part in him thou'lt share!
    adieu, too, to you too,
    my smith, my bosom frien';
    when kindly you mind me,
    o then befriend my jean!
    what bursting anguish tears my heart;
    from thee, my jeany, must i part!
    thou, weeping, answ'rest—“no!”
    alas! misfortune stares my face,
    and points to ruin and disgrace,
    i for thy sake must go!
    thee, hamilton, and aiken dear,
    a grateful, warm adieu:
    i, with a much-indebted tear,
    shall still remember you!
    all hail then, the gale then,
    wafts me from thee, dear shore!
    it rustles, and whistles
    i'll never see thee more!
