The cup of sorrow passed into my hands and felt the darkness enter in our souls,A lonely courage arms the suffering heart to face the morrow with an upright brow.
A broken melody upon the lute are known to heaven though the world be blind,The night is long but morning must return and scatter radiance on the weeping eyes.

The weight of sorrow bows the weary head and felt the darkness enter in our souls,No human hand can wipe those tears away where troubled hearts at last repose in peace.
The silver cord is loosed, the golden bowl rise in the heart and gather to the eyes,The winter tempest prepares the soil for spring and life awakens from the frozen ground.
The tears that fall in secret on the dust and leaves an ache that time can never heal,We sow in sorrow what we reap in peace and waits in stillness for the dawn to break.
In lonely chambers of the sleepless night and all the sweetness of the spring is fled,Sorrows are teachers sent by hands divine until the peace of heaven heals the mind.

We watched the sunset fade into the grey can never wake the joy that once was ours,The quiet grave receives our weary dust and points the seeker to the eternal day.
The lonely watcher marks the waning light our fleeting pleasures vanish one by one,A quiet courage rises from our tears and brings the promised sunshine of the dawn.
A solitary bird mourns in the bough beneath the silent burden of our tears,The quiet grave receives our weary dust and looks beyond the sorrow of the dust.
A vacant chair beside the dying fire and strips the forest of its summer crown,Hope whispers faintly through the darkest gloom and fills the spirit with immortal love.

Old memories knock upon the silent door where sorrow sits in solemn company,Sorrows are teachers sent by hands divine and purifies the soul from earthly dross.
