Willow weep for me,
|
Willow weep for me,
|
Bend your branches green,
|
Along the stream that runs to sea.
|
Listen to my plea,
|
Listen willow and weep for me.
|
|
Gone my lover's dream
|
Lovely summer dream
|
Gone and left me here
|
To weep my tears into the stream.
|
Sad as I can be,
|
Hear me willow and weep for me.
|
|
Whisper to the wind,
|
And say that love has sinned
|
To leave my heart a breaking
|
And making a moan
|
Murmur to the night,
|
To hide her starry light,
|
So none will find me sighing
|
And crying, all alone.
|
|
Oh weeping willow tree,
|
Weep, in sympathy,
|
Bend your branches down
|
Along the ground and cover me,
|
When the shadows fall,
|
Bend oh willow and weep for me.
|
