FAREWELL TO FELLOW VOYAGERS.



When shall we all meet again?
When, shall we all meet again?
We, who side by side, so long,
Listen'd to the billows' song,
Saw the Sun, enrob'd in gloom,
Plunging 'mid his ocean-tomb,
And, anon, its bursting floor
To the skies, their king restore;
Days of hope, and nights of fear
Drew us, heart to heart more near,
And though now serenely fair
Gleams the haven of our prayer,
Still this parting hath its pain,
When, shall we all meet again?
