WEEP not my wanton smile upon my kneeA
When thou art old there 's grief enough for theeA
nbsp nbsp nbsp Mother's wag pretty boyB
nbsp nbsp nbsp Father's sorrow father's joyB
nbsp nbsp nbsp When thy father first did seeA
nbsp nbsp nbsp Such a boy by him and meA
nbsp nbsp nbsp He was glad I was woeC
nbsp nbsp nbsp Fortune changed made him soC
nbsp nbsp nbsp When he left his pretty boyB
nbsp nbsp nbsp Last his sorrow first his joyB
Weep not my wanton smile upon my kneeA
When thou art old there 's grief enough for theeA
nbsp nbsp nbsp Streaming tears that never stintD
nbsp nbsp nbsp Like pearl drops from a flintD
nbsp nbsp nbsp Fell by course from his eyesE
nbsp nbsp nbsp That one another's place suppliesE
nbsp nbsp nbsp Thus he grieved in every partF
nbsp nbsp nbsp Tears of blood fell from his heartF
nbsp nbsp nbsp When he left his pretty boyB
nbsp nbsp nbsp Father's sorrow father's joyB
Weep not my wanton smile upon my kneeA
When thou art old there 's grief enough for theeA
nbsp nbsp nbsp The wanton smiled father weptG
nbsp nbsp nbsp Mother cried baby leaptG
nbsp nbsp nbsp More he crow'd more we criedH
nbsp nbsp nbsp Nature could not sorrow hideH
nbsp nbsp nbsp He must go he must kissI
nbsp nbsp nbsp Child and mother baby blissI
nbsp nbsp nbsp For he left his pretty boyB
nbsp nbsp nbsp Father's sorrow father's joyB
Weep not my wanton smile upon my kneeA
When thou art old there 's grief enough for theeA
