TEARS, TEARS.
Reading edition
Tears, tears, With wifely fears Immixed—I held my breath, My boy! As down the street The drums did beat That led you to your death, My boy! Oh! Oh! Where'er I go, And soldier boys I see, My jo! I wis', I wis', For him whose kiss Was blessedness to me, My jo! Still, still, By wish and will, The land you saved, I love, My boy! Beneath a stone, It holds your bone, I'll clasp your soul above, My boy!
