"Never again!"vow hearts when reunited,"Never again shall Love be cast aside;For ever now the shadow has departed;
Nor bitter sorrow,veiled in scornful pride,Shall feign indifference,or affect disdain,-Never,oh Love,again,never again!"
"Never again!"so sobs,in broken accents,A soul laid prostrate at a holy shrine,-"Once more,once more forgive,oh Lord,and pardon,My wayward life shall bend to love divine;And never more shall sin its whiteness stain,-Never,oh God,again,never again!"
"Never again!'so speaketh one forsaken,In the blank desolate passion of despair,-"Never again shall the bright dream I cherished Delude my heart,for bitter truth is there,-The angel,Hope,shall still thy cruel pain Never again,my heart,never again!""Never again!"so speaks the sudden silence,When round the hearth gathers each well-known face,-But one is missing,and no future presence,However dear,can fill that vacant place;For ever shall the burning thought remain,-
"Never,beloved,again!never again!"
"Never again!"so--but beyond our hearing -
Ring out far voices fading up the sky;
Never again shall earthly care and sorrow Weigh down the wings that bear those souls on high;Listen,oh earth,and hear that glorious strain,-"Never,never again!never again!"
