Tears bring thoughts of Heaven
S. Foster
Blame not those who weep and sigh
When to sadness given;
Kindly view the tearful eye
Tears bring tho'ts of Heaven.
When in death our friends depart,
When our hopes are riven;
Tears bring comfort to the heart
Tears bring thoughts of Heaven.
To the suffering child of earth
Unto madness driven,
Hallowed hours when tears have birth
Tears bring thoughts of Heaven.
