THE WATCHMAN
Goodnight, goodnight, my dearest,
How fast the moments fly;
It is time to part, thou dearest,
That hateful watchtna.ns cry.
Past twelve o'clock--good night!
Yet stay a moment longer,
Alas; why is i t $o;
The wish to stay grows stronger,
The more it is time to go.
Past one o'clock!--goodnight!
Now wrap thy cloak about thee,
The hours must soon go wrong;
For when they are past without thee,
They are oh, ten times as long.
Past two o'clock! -- goodnight.
Again that dreadful warning,
Had ever time such flight;
And see the sky--it is morning,
So now ended, goodnight.
Past three o'clock--goodnight!

It is tbe last rose of summer,
Left blooming a. lone.
All her lovely companions
Are faded and gone.
No
No
To
Or
flower of her kindred,
rose bud ia nigh
reflect back her blushes,
give sigh for sigh.
I will not leave thee thou love one
To pine on the stem
Since the lovely are sleeping
Go sleep thou with them.
Thus kindly I scatter
Thy leaves over thy bed,
When thy mates of the garden,
Lie scentless and dead.
So soon may I follow,
When friendsships decay,
And from loves shinning circle
The gems drop away.
I
'Ylhen true hearts lie withered
And fond ones a.re flown,
Ob, who would inhabit
This bleak world alone.
It is the last rose of summer
Left blooming alone,
All her lovely companions ,
Are faded and gone.
No

Or

rose bud is nigh,

A written representation of a document.
It is the last rose of summer,
Left blooming alone.
All her lovely companions
Are faded and gone.
No flower of her kindred,
No rosebud is nigh
To reflect back her blushes,
Or give sigh for sigh.
I will not leave thee thou love one
To pine on the stem
Since the lovely are sleeping
Go sleep with them.
Thus kindly I scatter
Thy leaves over thy bed,
When thy mates of the garden,
Lie scentless and dead.
So soon may I follow,
When friendships decay,
And from loves shinning circle
The gems drop away.
When true hearts lie withered
And fond ones are flown,
Oh, who would inhabit
This bleak world alone.
It is the last rose of summer
Left blooming alone,
All her lovely companions ,
Are faded and gone.
No flower of her kindred,
No Rose bud is nigh,
To reflect back her blushes,
Or give sigh for sigh.
