If it brings regret CIR pain,
If its tender memory recalls
Dead memories again.
If its simple strains are hallowed
By thoughts of friends now dead,
I'll not arouse the anguish
OF hopes forever fed.
/ viii not sing this old song
If it causes tears to rise
Such tears would fail to ease thy
heart
Or check those bitter sighs:
If it reviyes that passion
In thy bosom soothed at last,
Recalls a hopeless vision
From the loved and buried past.
l will not sing this old song,
Though the air is sad and sweet
Though the dear old music thrills
me
As its burden 1 repeat,

Though others it delight,
Since it mas a spell that grieves
thee,
I'll not sing the song tonight.
