Meet ne'er to seven? When will peace wreath her cain, Round us forever? Our hearts will ne'er repose, Safe from each blast that blows In this dark world of woes, - Never, no, never! - " - When shall love freely flow, pure as Lifes river ? When shall sweet friendship glow, Changeless forever? Where joys célestial thrill, Where blis each heart shall fill And fears of parting chill, - Never, no, Never ! - " -
