Song #36

A Tear

1)
A quiet tear which runs down the cheek
Tell me why you are there?
Which soul pain do you betray?
Of the sorrow this world brings?

2)
Fall then freely, it is a relief to weep
Pain can be relieved by tears
And among many dark riddles striving
An imperishable hope may glimmer

3)
And once from God's own son
Is written, it is well to do so
He, who came from the place of highest joy
Wept, and should I not weep as well?

4)
Yes, I know you will realise with me
The strife of life, its fury borne at last
What I am, I may not wish to be
What I wish to be may not come to pass
