TEARS
Weep! weep bitter tears! for thy friends
Are the Dead and the Overthrown
And the Sacrificed: God lends
Such help to the Lone.
Are the Dead and the Overthrown
And the Sacrificed: God lends
Such help to the Lone.
Weep! weep bitter tears! for thy friends
Are the Friendless: what art thou?
How silently each yellow leaf wends
From the wither'd bough.
Are the Friendless: what art thou?
How silently each yellow leaf wends
From the wither'd bough.
Weep desperate tears! in the tomb
Build thy palace brave!
A sure friend and a certain home
There alone thou may'st have.
Build thy palace brave!
A sure friend and a certain home
There alone thou may'st have.
