They're Drawer far than us.
They bear their sorrows silently
And seldom make fuss.

And yet l can't help wondering
How she can hide her grief
She smiles and laughs exactly like

It hurts my feelings very much
To see her act so glad;

To show that she is sad
And Q alas! Alas once more
No sorrow seems to reach her.
She hands me over to some I'm
