Flow fast, my tears! the cause is great;
This tribute claims an injured Friend—
One whom I long pursued with hate,
And yet he love me to the end.
Fast flow my tears,—yet faster flow!
Stream copious as yon purple tide:
‘Twas I that dealt the deadly blow;
I urged the hand that pierced his side.
Fast, and yet faster flow my tears!
Love breaks the heart, and drowns the eyes;
His visage marred toward heaven he rears,
And, pleading for his murderers, dies!
