GRIEF-SONG.
New grief, new tears;—
Brief the reign of sorrow;
Clouds that gather with the night
Scatter on the morrow.
Brief the reign of sorrow;
Clouds that gather with the night
Scatter on the morrow.
Old grief, old tears;—
Come and gone together;
Not a fleck upon the sky
Telling whence or whither.
Come and gone together;
Not a fleck upon the sky
Telling whence or whither.
Old grief, new tears;—
Deep to deep is calling:
Life is but a passing cloud
Whence the rain is falling.
Deep to deep is calling:
Life is but a passing cloud
Whence the rain is falling.
