If you go over desert and mountain	A
Far into the country of Sorrow	B
To day and to night and to morrow	B
And maybe for months and for years	C
You shall come with a heart that is bursting	D
For trouble and toiling and thirsting	D
You shall certainly come to the fountain	A
At length to the Fountain of Tears	E
	-
Very peaceful the place is and solely	F
For piteous lamenting and sighing	D
And those who come living or dying	D
Alike from their hopes and their fears	C
Full of cypress like shadows the place is	G
And statues that cover their faces	H
But out of the gloom springs the holy	F
And beautiful Fountain of Tears	E
	-
And it flows and it flows with a motion	A
So gentle and lovely and listless	I
And murmurs a tune so resistless	I
To him who hath suffer'd and hears	I
You shall surely without a word spoken	A
Kneel down there and know your heart broken	A
And yield to the long curb'd emotion	A
That day by the Fountain of Tears	I
	-
For it grows and it grows as though leaping	D
Up higher the more one is thinking	D
And ever its tunes go on sinking	D
More poignantly into the ears	I
Yea so bless egrave d and good seems that fountain	A
Reach'd after dry desert and mountain	A
You shall fall down at length in your weeping	D
And bathe your sad face in the tears	I
	-
Then alas while you lie there a season	A
And sob between living and dying	D
And give up the land you were trying	D
To find 'mid your hopes and your fears	I
O the world shall come up and pass o'er you	J
Strong men shall not stay to care for you	J
Nor wonder indeed for what reason	A
Your way should seem harder than theirs	I
	-
But perhaps while you lie never lifting	D
Your cheek from the wet leaves it presses	I
Nor caring to raise your wet tresses	I
And look how the cold world appears	I
O perhaps the mere silences round you	J
All things in that place Grief hath found you	J
Yea e'en to the clouds o'er you drifting	D
May soothe you somewhat through your tears	I
	-
You may feel when a falling leaf brushes	I
Your face as though some one had kiss'd you	J
Or think at least some one who miss'd you	J
Had sent you a thought if that cheers	I
Or a bird's little song faint and broken	A
May pass for a tender word spoken	A
Enough while around you there rushes	I
That life drowning torrent of tears	I
	-
And the tears shall flow faster and faster	K
Brim over and baffle resistance	I
And roll down blear'd roads to each distance	I
Of past desolation and years	I
Till they cover the place of each sorrow	B
And leave you no past and no morrow	B
For what man is able to master	K
And stem the great Fountain of Tears	I
	-
But the floods and the tears meet and gather	K
The sound of them all grows like thunder	K
O into what bosom I wonder	K
Is pour'd the whole sorrow of years	I
For Eternity only seems keeping	D
Account of the great human weeping	D
May God then the Maker and Father	K
May He find a place for the tears	I
