TEARS.
Reading edition
THE WORDS AND MUSIC COMPOSED FOR MERRY’S MUSEUM.
Slow & Pathetic.
Tears, tears may speak of grief, More deep than words e’er spake, And yet tears bring relief, When else the heart would break. Tears, tears may tell of pleasure, Too sweet for words to show; For the heart is like a measure— Too full, ’twill overflow. Then give, oh give me tears!— For sorrow’s load they lighten— And rainbow joy appears, Amid their showers to brighten.
