You kissed the tear
   that ran down my cheeks goodbye
And kept the others at bay
   that they may not stain my cheek

You helped me bear
   every hardship that ever came by
And made me feel ever so gay
   like a song from a koel’s beak

You taught me to care
   for even those who had made me cry
And had always answered me nay
   for I had been to reply too meek

Why did it all end in a nightmare
   for you went away with a sigh
And left me on that gloomy day
   to forever your love seek…
