May-Day - and Other Pieces by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Rude ocean doth us part;
We separate to-day,
Far away, far away.

Farewell I breathe again

In yon green palmy isle,
Beneath the tropic ray,
I murmur never while
For thee and thine I pray;
Far away, far away.

E. B. E.

But not for those who perished here.
Behold the river-bank
Whither the angry farmers came,
In sloven dress and broken rank,
Nor thought of fame.
Their deed of blood
All mankind praise;
