WHEN you come to London Town,
(Grieving-grieving!)
Bring your flowers and lay them down
At the place of grieving.
When you come to London Town,
(Grieving-grieving!)
Bow your head and mourn your own,
With the others grieving.
For those minutes, let it wake
(Grieving-grieving!)
All the empty-heart and ache
That is not cured by grieving.
For those minutes, tell no lie:
(Grieving-grieving!)
"Grave, this is thy victory;
And the sting of death is grieving."
Where`s our help, from earth or heaven,
(Grieving-grieving!)
To comfort us for what we`ve given,
And only gained the grieving.
Heaven`s too far and earth too near,
(Grieving-grieving!)
But our neighbour`s standing here,
Grieving as we`re grieving.
What`s his burden every day?
(Grieving-grieving!)
Nothing man can count or weigh,
But loss and love`s own grieving.
What is the tie betwixt us two
(Grieving-grieving!)
That must last our whole lives through?
"As I suffer, so do you."
That may ease the grieving.
