Never a tears bedims the eye
That time and patience will not dry.

Never a tears bedims the eye
That time and patience will not dry.

Tears are words the heart can't express

Tears are words the heart can't express

Weep no more, nor sigh, nor groan,
Sorrow calls no time that's gone:
Violets plucked the sweetest read more

Weep no more, nor sigh, nor groan,
Sorrow calls no time that's gone:
Violets plucked the sweetest rain
Makes not fresh nor grow again.

For Beauty's tears are lovelier than her smile.

For Beauty's tears are lovelier than her smile.

And friends, dear friends,--when it shall be
That this low breath is gone from me,
And gone read more

And friends, dear friends,--when it shall be
That this low breath is gone from me,
And gone my bier ye come to weep,
Let One, most loving of you all,
Say, "Not a tear must o'er her fall;
He giveth His beloved sleep."

And the tear that is wiped with a little address,
May be follow'd perhaps by a smile.

And the tear that is wiped with a little address,
May be follow'd perhaps by a smile.

And weep the more, because I weep in vain.

And weep the more, because I weep in vain.

Tears are the summer showers to the soul.

Tears are the summer showers to the soul.

Words that weep, and tears that speak.

Words that weep, and tears that speak.
