Ah let the tear unheeded flow
Language: English
Ah let the tear unheeded flow, That trembles in thine eye, Nor vainly strive the cause to know, that prompts the secret sigh. When hope attends the tuneful strain, And paints the future fair, 'Tis sweetly soothing to complain, But silence suits despair.
