When You Are Sad + 

When you are sad, + 

The mother of the stars weeps too, + 

And all her starlight is with sorrow mad, + 

And tears of fire fall gently in the dew. + 

When you are sad, + 

The mother of the wind mourns too, + 

And her old wind that no mirth ever had, + 

Wanders and wails before my heart most true + 

When you are sad, + 

The mother of the wave sighs too, + 

And her dim wave bids man be no more glad, + 

And then the whole world’s trouble weeps with you. + 
