No!-to the poet thought is bread-his heart
Lives on his Maker's works around.
Farewell, my sire, my sisters dear, again!
Farewell, my walnut-shaded place of birth!
Farewell, my steed, now loitering o'er the plain!
Farewell, my dog, now lonely on the hearth!
Your image haunts me like the shade of bliss,
Your voices lure me with their fond recall;
Soon, may the hour arise, less dark than this,
The hour that reunites us all.
And thou, my country, tossed by winds and seas,
Like this frail bark on which my lot is cast,
Big with the world's yet unborn destinies,--
Adieu, thy shores glide from my vision past!
O! that some ray would pierce the clouds that broods
O'er throne and temple, liberty and thee,
And kindle brighter, o'er the restless floods,
Thy beacon light of immortality!
And thou, Marseilles, at France's portals placed,
With thy white arms the coming guest to greet,
Whose haven, gleaming o'er the ocean's breast,
Spreads like a nest, each winged mast to meet;
Where many a hand, beloved, now presses mine,
Where my foot lingers still as loth to flee-
Thine be my last departing accents-thine
My first returning greeting be!"
