GODEY'S LADY'S BOOK
Philadelphia, January 1850

T0 THE FAITHLESS 0NE

BY MISS C. H. BENNET.

ART thou then false? thou who wert ever dear
To this, my yearning heart?
Hast thou forsaken me? Be once sincere,
And tell me – must we part?

Is there no love remaining in thy breast
For me, thou false one, now?
Is this the constancy thou hast professed?
Is this thy solemn vow?

Away! I will not love thee! leave me-go!
Another may be thine;
And her affection may be deep – but oh!
Never so true as mine!
