Analysis of I Wept For Thee
I wept all day, my love is gone,
She went away and tarried none;
It teared my eyes as daylight broke
With no goodbyes, she never spoke.
As the daylight lits the land
In the daybright here I stand
And all alone I wept for she
As on my own I think of thee.
Then as the day comes to its end
I think and pray my heart will mend.
But think, I should, why I cry for?
She's gone for good! I weep no more.
