Kathleen Mavourneen, the gray dawn is breaking,

The horn of the hunter is heard on the hill, The lark from her light wing the bright dew is shaking

Kathleen Mavourneen, what, slumbering still? Oh hast thou forgotten how soon we must sever? Oh hast thou forgotten this day we must part? It may be for years and it may be forever;" Oh why art thou silent, thou voice of my heart? Ascribed to MRS. JULIA CRAWFORD-Kathleen Mavourneen. First pub. in Metropolitan Magazine. London, between 1830 and 1840.

One kind kiss before we part,

Drop a tear, and bid adieu; Though we sever, my fond heart Till we meet shall pant for you. DODSLEY-Colin's Kisses. The Parting Kiss.

In every parting there is an image of death. GEORGE ELIOT-Amos Barton. Ch. X.
