TEARS.
BY CHARLES D. GARDETTE, M.D.
'Tis said, affliction's deepest sting
Some token of its pain will bring
In tears of bitter flow;
But they who thus judge sorrow's smart,
Know not the pang that wrings the heart,
With withering tearless woe!
The scorching grief that blasts the fount,
And dries its tears, ere yet they mount,
