Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean, Tear — Alfred Lord Tennyson

Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean, Tears from the depth of some divine despair Rise in the heart, and gather to the eyes, In looking on the happy autumn fields, And thinking of the days that are no more.

 

The Princess, IV [song, Tears, Idle Tears, st. 1]
