FROM ROMANCES SANS PAROLES.TEARS in my heart that weeps,Like the rain upon the town,What drowsy languor steepsIn tears my heart that weeps?O sweet sound of the rainOn earth and on the roofs!For a heart’s weary painO the song of the rain!Vain tears, vain tears, my heart!What, none hath done thee wrong?Tears without reason start,From my disheartened heart.This is the weariest woe,O heart, of love and hateToo weary, not to knowWhy thou hast all this woe.
TEARS in my heart that weeps,Like the rain upon the town,What drowsy languor steepsIn tears my heart that weeps?
O sweet sound of the rainOn earth and on the roofs!For a heart’s weary painO the song of the rain!
Vain tears, vain tears, my heart!What, none hath done thee wrong?Tears without reason start,From my disheartened heart.
This is the weariest woe,O heart, of love and hateToo weary, not to knowWhy thou hast all this woe.
