If we should ever meet again 

 When many tedious years are past; 

When time shall have unbound the chain, 

 And this sad heart is free at last;? 

Then shall we meet and look unmov'd, 

As though we ne'er had met?had lov'd! 

And I shall mark without a tear 

 How cold and calm thy alter'd brow; 

I shall forget thou once wert dear, 

 Rememb'ring but thy broken vow! 

Rememb'ring that in trusting youth 

I lov'd thee with the purest truth; 

That now the fleeting dream is o'er, 

And thou canst raise the spell no more!
