First Line: I ask you dear, if I should die
Last Line: My tears through life would never dry.
Subject(s): Grief; Sorrow; Sadness
I ask you dear, if I should die,
Supposable, tomorrow;
Pray, tell me, if this were the case,
Would someone soon usurp my place,
Or would you live in sorrow?
If it were you, instead of I,
My tears through life would never dry.
