NOT TOO SLOWLY

Farewell, Manchester, noble town, farewell!
Here with loyalty every breast shall swell.
Wheresoe'er I roam, here, as in a home,
Ever dear Lancashire, my heart shall dwell.

Farewell, Manchester, sadly I depart,
Tear-drops bodingly from their prison start.
Though I toil anew, shadows to pursue,
Shadows vain, thou'lt remain within my heart.
