For Others.

Topics: classic

Weeping for another's woe,     Tears flow then that would not flow     When our sorrow was our own,     And the deadly, stiffening blow     Was upon our own heart given     In the moments that have flown!     Cringing at another's cry     In the hollow world of grief     Stills the anguish of our pain     For the fate that made us die     To our hopes as sweet as vain;     And our tears can flow again!     One storm blows the night this way,     But another brings the day.
