Additional Verse
TO “'TIS NOT THE TEAR,” OF THOMAS MOORE
'Tis the eye where o'er the shade of woe,A wintry smile is gleaming,
'Tis the stifled sigh, suppressed and low,
From a heart all torn and streaming;
279
Its bitter pang can borrow;
'Tis the sob that bursts when no ear is nigh,
To catch its voice of sorrow.
