TEARS BRING THOUGHTS OF HEAVEN.
1
Blame not those who weep and sighWhen to sadness given;
Kindly view the tearful eye—
Tears bring tho'ts of Heaven.
2.
When in death our friends depart,When our hopes are riven;
Tears bring comfort to the heart—
Tears bring thoughts of Heaven.
3.
To the suffering child of earthUnto madness driven,
Hallowed hours when tears have birth—
Tears bring thoughts of Heaven.
