CARAVAN SONG by THOMAS WALSH

First Line: TEARS FOR THE JASMINES, - TEARS TO SLAKE THE ROSES
Last Line: LO, HOW MY TASK OF TEARS IS NEVER DONE!
Subject(s): FLOWERS; PAIN; SUFFERING; MISERY;

TEARS for the jasmines,—tears to slake the roses
I bring thy garden through Love's desert sun;
Lo, how with bloom and scent each bud uncloses!—
Lo, how my task of tears is never done!
