Title:     Song [Oh The Tear Is In My Eye, And My Heart It Is Breaking]
Author: Joseph Rodman Drake [More Titles by Drake]

Oh the tear is in my eye, and my heart it is breaking,
Thou hast fled from me, Connor, and left me forsaken;
Bright and warm was our morning, but soon has it faded,
For I gave thee a true heart, and thou hast betrayed it.

Thy footsteps I followed in darkness and danger,
From the home of my love to the land of the stranger;
Thou wert mine through the tempest, the blight, and the burning;
Could I think thou wouldst change when the morn was returning.

Yet peace to thy heart, though from mine it must sever,
May she love thee as I loved, alone and for ever;
I may weep for thy loss, but my faith is unshaken,
And the heart thou hast widowed will bless thee in breaking.

[The end]
Joseph Rodman Drake's poem: Song [Oh The Tear Is In My Eye, And My Heart It Is Breaking]
