when I saw thy tears glisten like a dove
after I roar’d, my words with anger flung
why oh why did I hurt thee whom I love?
...
I spoke contritely from a heart undone
to restore not wound thou whom I have stung
when I saw thy tears glisten like a dove.
...
but too slow, my apology overdone
alas to me thy heart no longer clung
why oh why did I hurt thee whom I love?
...
how frail the priceless trail of love unglov'd
tender and sweet, my soul sick bell hast rung
when I saw thy tears glisten like a dove.
...
thou wert mine till a fit of rage thou shunn’d
mislaid by failing to control my tongue
why oh why did I hurt thee whom I love?
...
whisper'd I, might we try again to love
wash clean the slate, forget what I have done
when I saw thy tears glisten like a dove
why oh why did I hurt thee whom I love?
