He, grown weary of his victim,

Says, “’Tis better we should part!”

In his soul there is no pity

For her crushed and breaking heart.—Chorus.

In the streets of a great city,

One cold, bitter winter’s night,

On a door-step lies a woman,

’Round her fall the snowflakes white;

By her side a man is kneeling,

“Mary!” is his bitter cry—
