ANGELS' TEARS
THE lily weeps at even,
For vapours fallen anew
From the clear vault of heaven
Turn at her touch to dew.
'Tis only so heaven's tearless eyes
With mortal woes can sympathise.

'Tis only so heaven's tearless eyes
With mortal woes can sympathise.
Know ye the white-souled maiden
That's like the lily-bell?
When her soft eyes are laden
With teardrops, men may tell
Thc Angels' sympathy appears
Made visible in human tears.
