Work rating: Medium


        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.
