Tears well out from my heart...

By Dhan Gopal Mukerji

Tears well out from my heart,

As clouds overcast my soul,

And blur my vision of thee.

Melancholy this dawn,

When thy smile and words,

And thy sky-shaming eyes

Are not beside me to rouse me from sleep.

Though cry I without end,

Yet a thought of thee heals many wounds,

Why? thou ask me; how can I tell?

All thou wish to take is thine;

Not even the dust of thy feet I seek,

Only leave me the star of thy memory

To bathe in the rain of my weeping.
