'Tis the spot where we parted— <br /> Oh! never again <br />Can its breeze or its blossoms <br /> Awake but to pain. <br />Ah! as fair is the scene <br /> As it flourish'd before; <br />But the ray that gave life <br /> Beams in lustre no more. <br />Thou art gone—like the rainbow <br /> Departed each hue, <br />That gleam'd for a moment, <br /> Then fled from the view;— <br />I may gaze on the cloud, <br /> The bright shadow pass'd o'er; <br />But the light of thy form <br /> Shall enchant me no more.<br /><br />Louisa Stuart Costello<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/song-tis-the-spot-where-we-parted/
