Love

Song: Weeping for thee, my love, thro' the long…

by Thomas Moore 1779–1852

From Evenings in Greece

Love

Weeping for thee, my love, thro' the long day,
Lonely and wearily life wears away.
Weeping for thee, my love, thro' the long night--
No rest in darkness, no joy in light!
Naught left but Memory whose dreary tread
Sounds thro' this ruined heart, where all lies dead--
Wakening the echoes of joy long fled!
