The tears I feel today I’ll wait to shed tomorrow, Though I’ll not sleep this night Nor find surcease from sorrow. My eyes must keep their sight; I dare not be tear-blinded. I must be free to speak (talk) Not choked with grief, clear-minded. My tongue (mouth) cannot betray The anguish that I know. ||: I’ll keep my tears till later; But my grief will never go. :||
