Work-a-day Warriors/The Willow Tree
THE WILLOW TREE
O, Willow, Willow weeping,Your tears fall down for whom?We soldiers who are sleepingUntil the Day of Doom?—O, Willow, Willow weeping,So soundly we are sleeping.
O, Willow, Willow weeping,Do you but weep for thoseOur women folk whose hearts are brokeWhose eyelids never close;Who lie all night unsleeping—O, Willow, Willow—weeping.
