名人诗歌|STANZASER

Oh, weep not, love！ each tear that springs In those dear eyes of thine, To me a keener suffering brings Than if they flowed from mine.

And do not droop^{1！ however drear The fate awaiting thee； For MY sake combat pain and care, And cherish life for me！}

I do not fear thy love will fail； Thy faith is true, I know； But, oh, my love！ thy strength is frail^{2 For such a life of woe3.}

Were 't not for this, I well could trace （Though banished^{4 long from thee） Life's rugged5 path, and boldly face The storms that threaten me.}

Fear not for meI've steeled my mind Sorrow and strife^{6 to greet； Joy with my love I leave behind, Care with my friends I meet.}

A mother's sad reproachful eye, A father's scowling^{7 brow But he may frown and she may sigh： I will not break my vow8！}

I love my mother, I revere^{9 My sire, but fear not me Believe that Death alone can tear This faithful heart from thee.}
