WHY WEEP
“Why should we weep, why should we weep.
When heaven throws such beams of love around,
That, mingled with the darkest woes,
The rays of hope are found?
Why should we weep, when every storm
That sweeps o'er ocean's breast.
Awakes a gem whose sparkling form
Had else remained at rest?
Why should we weep, when every flower
That closes with the night,
Shall blush anew in beauty’s power,
When morn renews its light?
Why should we weep, when placed on high
The bow, divinely sent,
Still shows, when clouds obscure the sky,
How quickly they are spent?
Why should we weep, when dawning days
And years so swiftly run?
We only lose their setting light.
To hail their brighter dawn”.
