has
Why hath thy merry face
Gone from my side
Leaving each cherished place
Cheerless and void
has the
Why hath my happy dream,
Blended with thee,
Passed Gone like a flitting beam
Sweet Laura Lee
Far from all pleasure torn
Sad and alone
How doth my spirit mourn
While thou art gone
How like a desert isle
Earth seems to me
Robbed of thy sunny smile
Sweet Laura Lee
