Mr. Sorrow
Today not yet as bright
As it was the day before
Blind without the light
Into that which we adore
Heavy tears with endless flow
The thumpping heart full of pain
In sorrow it shall grow
Until the stopping of tears that rain
To this day I see not an end
This sorrow that fills my endless day
Will be tomorrows today again
And let the sound of my cry lay
Upon the thoughts of Mr. Sorrow
May he bring me my true love today
To stop my tears tomorrow
