"I've seen and kissed that crimson lip / With honied smile oerflowing; / Enchanted watched the opening rose, / Upon they soft cheek glowing; / Nor deemed thy beauties spell / A finer charm could borrow / But Oh! I had not then beheld, / Thy parting look of sorrow.
Altho in natures garland gay / A thousand hues betwining / Can one surpass the snow white flower / Through dew drops meekly shining! / Dear Mary thy eyes may prove less blue / Thy beauty fade to morrow / But Oh! my heart can ne'er forget / Thy parting look of sorrow."
