English translation
From 1834 New England Magazine
Dear one, farewell! with genius blessed,
With grace and piety,
But dearer by a daughter's name,
Alas ! farewell to thee
Farewell, Maria dear! a happier time
Will surely be,
When I again, if worthy found,
Shall meet with thee.
Dear one, return ! with joyful voice
My words will be,
Come to thy father's arms, Maria dear,
Return again to me.
