UNSEEN TEARS.
Unseen ears are like a river,

Unseen ears are like river,
Spnn2ing from The mountains high,
Gliding Notwithstanding ever
Hidden from the gazing eye;
None may mark The lear-drop sia ting
From aifllctlons bitter smart
None may heed lhe hope departing,
From the broken, bleeding heart.
When alone in silen; sadness
Comes the heartfelt, gushing tear,
Quenching every ray gladness-
QJckening every anxious fear
Then, indeed We feel the sorrow,
Bursting from a soul Of woe
Shadow of the glooming morrow,
Growing darker as We so.
Heartfelt anguish is retiring
From The worlds u1haIlowed eye,
Solitude 10 grief inspiring,
Freeing every struggling sigh
Thus the spirl, bears The ringing,
Sorrow brings in drsary tone.
While our cesseless cares are bringing
Countless fears, because slone.
'Tis within The souls recesses,
Deep and hidden from the view,
Where Ihe heart pang closely presses,
Smiling every vital through.
When the raging flames OF sorrow,
Boils The cauldron OF The heart,
Sounding tears will reach The furrow.
And the eyelids feel Tie smart.
Gould we see the inner weeping,
OF The dark despairing soul,
Think you we'd forget the keeping,
Or unheed our bioiher's call
Blu, alas, the world is telling
Startling lhings of human woe,
While ten thousand hearts are dwelling,
On the grleis but one can know.
