Parting
Dearest kindest friends must sever
Kindred part to meet no more
Oart to meet no more forever
On this drear tempestuous shore

Is not life a constant sorrow
One perpetual moving tide
Here today but on the _________
Seas and mountains friends devide

Thus kind friends are seperated
Some to distant climes remove
Some by Death are extricated
From their pains to ___________

Happy when each friend and brother
Parted strive to gain that shore
They again shall greet each other
They shall meet to part no more
