WHAT’S A TEAR?
A BALLAD.
SUNG BY MRS. SEGUIN,
COMPOSED BY
M. W. BALFE.
Presented By GEORGE WILLIG, No. 171 Chestnut St., Philadelphia.
What’s a tear? Mother dear!
Look not thou in sorrow!
As at dawn, from the thorn,
Falls the dew my Mother,
Let this grief find relief,
I’ll not weep tomorrow!
His I’ll be, none shall see
How I love another,
How I love,—love another!
SECOND VERSE.
As the rose, while it blows,
Hidden canker weareth;
Sigh shall ne’er whisper here,
How this heart despaireth:
What’s a tear? Mother dear!
His I’ll be, Oh Mother!
Though I die, since on high
I may love another.
How I love another.
