Sweetheart, good-by!
How quickly to _two_ loving hearts
The _ones_ seem to fly;
Though all unseen, time fast departs,
And, sweetheart, I
Must kiss thee once before I go,
And say good-by!

Sweetheart, good-by!
Oh, love, thy cheeks with tears are wet,
You sadly sigh
That I--I may thee soon forget;
Love, I reply
By kissing such foolish doubts away,
And then good-by!

Sweetheart, good-by!
One last look at thy fair, sweet face--
Nay, do not cry--
One lingering kiss, one sweet embrace.
Then, sweetheart, I
Must part with thee for one long day--
Sweetheart, good-by!

"I've cut my _one_! I've cut my _one_!"
Cried Mrs. Murphy's eldest son:
He nursed the _one_ and hopped about--
His mother from the house ran out;
"Oh, _two_ the blissid saint presarve!"
The frightened widow cried;
"My darlin' b'y how did ye carve
Your _last_ so deep and wide?"
"Oh, mother dear! I came out here
To hoe the _totals_ without fear;
But fortune frowns against your son--
His hoeing for this day is done."

I'm first in the alehouse and third at the dram,
In midst of the breakfast, dividing the ham;
I'm first in the army, second in battle,
Unknown to the child, I'm found in his rattle;
I'm found in all waters, but never in wells;
I'm mixed up with witchcraft, but never in spells;
On lassies and ladies I wait all their lives,
But quit them the moment they call themselves wives;
Though strange contradictions in tales may be carried,
Where virtue prevails, I am found with the married;
With the grave and the gay I number my days,
I mix in
