But now he walks the streets

I Saw Thee Weep

I saw thee weep---the big bright tear came o'er that eye of blue

我曾见你哭泣，碧眼里晶莹的泪珠滚落下来

And then me thought it did appear a violet dropping dew

It could not match the living rays that filled that glance of thine

As clouds from yonder sun receive a deep and mellow dye

Those smiles unto the moodiest mind, their own pure joy impart

那微笑向我郁闷的内心，注入清纯的欢快

Their sunshine leaves a glow behind that lightens o'er the heart
