SONG.

(Air, " Byron's Farewell.")

The stars are in the heavens,
 And the moon shines o'er the sea;
But where art thou who promis'd
 To come this night to me?
   But where art thou who promis'd
   To come this night to me?

Art quaffing from the goblet?
 Art whisp'ring to the fair?
Nor thinking of the sad one
 Alone in her despair?
   Nor thinking of the sad one
   Alone in her despair?

Oh, gently blow the zephyrs
 Above the murm'ring wave:
Weep not thou for me ever;
 They will sigh above my grave.
   Weep not thou for me ever;
   They will sigh above my grave.
