Tears
English source:
Anon.
In tremor, ere the morning
With Orient light is grey,
I tarried at the window
And looked for coming day.
Full in the glow of noontide
I shed a bitter tear,
And to my fond heart whispered,
“My love will soon be here.”
The night, the night is o’er me
Who gleams I shun in dread;
The day has now departed –
My dream of joy is fled.
With Orient light is grey,
I tarried at the window
And looked for coming day.
Full in the glow of noontide
I shed a bitter tear,
And to my fond heart whispered,
“My love will soon be here.”
The night, the night is o’er me
Who gleams I shun in dread;
The day has now departed –
My dream of joy is fled.
