<h2>APPEAL.</h2>
<p>Oh, I am very weary,<br/>
Though tears no longer flow;<br/>
My eyes are tired of weeping,<br/>
My heart is sick of woe;<br/>
<br/>
My life is very lonely<br/>
My days pass heavily,<br/>
I'm weary of repining;<br/>
Wilt thou not come to me?<br/>
<br/>
Oh, didst thou know my longings<br/>
For thee, from day to day,<br/>
My hopes, so often blighted,<br/>
Thou wouldst not thus delay!<br/></p>
