; On Anothers Sorrow

 
SI-OnAnothersSorrow1;   E17|        Can I see anothers woe,
SI-OnAnothersSorrow2;   E17|        And not be in sorrow too.
SI-OnAnothersSorrow3;   E17|        Can I see anothers grief,
SI-OnAnothersSorrow4;   E17|        And not seek for kind relief?   t23

 
SI-OnAnothersSorrow5;   E17|        Can I see a falling tear,
SI-OnAnothersSorrow6;   E17|        And not feel my sorrows share,
SI-OnAnothersSorrow7;   E17|        Can a father see his child,
SI-OnAnothersSorrow8;   E17|        Weep, nor be with sorrow fill'd.

 
SI-OnAnothersSorrow9;   E17|        Can a mother sit and hear,
SI-OnAnothersSorrow10; E17|        An infant groan an infant fear--
SI-OnAnothersSorrow11; E17|        No no never can it be.
SI-OnAnothersSorrow12; E17|        Never never can it be.

 
SI-OnAnothersSorrow13; E17|        And can he who smiles on all
SI-OnAnothersSorrow14; E17|        Hear the wren with sorrows small,
SI-OnAnothersSorrow15; E17|        Hear the small birds grief & care
SI-OnAnothersSorrow16; E17|        Hear the woes that infants bear--

 
SI-OnAnothersSorrow17; E17|        And not sit beside the nest
SI-OnAnothersSorrow18; E17|        Pouring pity in their breast,
SI-OnAnothersSorrow19; E17|        And not sit the cradle near
SI-OnAnothersSorrow20; E17|        Weeping tear on infants tear.

 
SI-OnAnothersSorrow21; E17|        And not sit both night & day,
SI-OnAnothersSorrow22; E17|        Wiping all our tears away.
SI-OnAnothersSorrow23; E17|        O! no never can it be.
SI-OnAnothersSorrow24; E17|        Never never can it be.

 
SI-OnAnothersSorrow25; E17|        He doth give his joy to all.
SI-OnAnothersSorrow26; E17|        He becomes an infant small.
SI-OnAnothersSorrow27; E17|        He becomes a man of woe
SI-OnAnothersSorrow28; E17|        He doth feel the sorrow too.

 
SI-OnAnothersSorrow29; E17|        Think not, thou canst sigh a sigh,
SI-OnAnothersSorrow30; E17|        And thy maker is not by.
SI-OnAnothersSorrow31; E17|        Think not, thou canst weep a tear,
SI-OnAnothersSorrow32; E17|        And thy maker is not near.

 
SI-OnAnothersSorrow33; E17|        O! he gives to us his joy,
SI-OnAnothersSorrow34; E17|        That our grief he may destroy   t24
SI-OnAnothersSorrow35; E17|        Till our grief is fled & gone
SI-OnAnothersSorrow36; E17|        He doth sit by us and moan
