Shades of ev’ning, close not o’er us, Leave our lonely bark awhile! Morn, alas! will not restore us Yonder dim and distant Isle; Still my fancy can discover Sunny spots where friends may dwell; Darker shadows round us hover; Isle of Beauty, fare thee well! When the waves are round me breaking, As I pace the deck alone, And my eye in vain is seeking Some green leaf to rest upon; What would not I give to wander Where my old companions dwell? Absence makes the heart grow fonder, Isle of Beauty, fare thee well!
