POPULAR soKas. 317
See ! vere my von os vaits nay coming,
The brute's in perfect misery ;
So Mister Valker, no more humming—
Be quick, sir ! and remember me.
TEACH ME TO FORGET.
Friends depart, and raem'ry takes them
To her ciivcrus pure and deep.
And a forced smiles only wakes them
From the shadows where they sleep.
Who shall school the heart's afiectioa ?
Who shall banish it's regret ?
If you blame my deep dejection.
Teach, oh ! teach me to forget.
Bear me not to festive bowers ;
'Twas with them I sat there last ;
Weave me not Spring's early flowers !
They'll remind me of the past.
Music comes Uke mournful wailing,
Tn the hall where oft we've met,
Mirth's gay call is unavailing ; —
Teacb, oh ! teach me to forget.
Onp, who hopelessly remembers,
Cannot bear a dawning light,
He would rather watch the embers,
Of a love that once was bright.
Who shall school the heart's affection ?
Who shall banish its regret ?
If you blame my deep dejection, —
Teach, oh ! teach me to forget.
