English poem
SONG. (My tears—alas! I cannot speak)
by Anonymous
My tears—alas! I cannot speak! Must thank this goodness, sure, divine! For had I words—words are too weak, Too poor, to vent such thoughts as mine.
The sun, in its meridian height, Will gratitude like this inspire; Whose kindly heat, and piercing light, We wonder at, and we admire.
