Oh, Dry the Glistening Tear |
| Oh dry that glistening tear that dews that martial cheek, thy loving children |
| hear in them thy comfort seek. |
| With sympathetic care their arms around thee creep. |
| For oh they can not bear to see their father weep. |
| Dear father, why leave your bed, at this untimely hour, when happy daylight is |
| dead and dark some dangers lowr. |
| See heaven has lit her lamp the midnight hour is past. |
| And chilly night air is damp. |
| The dew is falling fast! |
| Dear Father why leave your bed when happy daylight is dead. |
| Oh dry that glistening tear that dews that martial cheek, thy loving children |
| hear in them thy comfort seek. |
| With sympathetic care their arms around thee creep. |
| For oh they can not bear to see their father weep! |
