‘Hide, hide your tears!’
Hide, hide your tears,
Ye breaking hearts, lest sorrow
Darken their years
Whose is the bright To-morrow!
Ye breaking hearts, lest sorrow
Darken their years
Whose is the bright To-morrow!
What can repay
The ruin of the roses,
Though weeping day
In golden sunset closes?
The ruin of the roses,
Though weeping day
In golden sunset closes?
Or what amend
Can be for child-hearts breaking,
Though the world lend
Gold, glory, and mirth-making?
Can be for child-hearts breaking,
Though the world lend
Gold, glory, and mirth-making?
Though this dark night
Show moon nor star adorning,
Grudge not delight
To the young heirs of Morning!
Show moon nor star adorning,
Grudge not delight
To the young heirs of Morning!
