Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Willow weep for me willow weep for me
Bent your branches down along the
Ground and cover me listen to my plea
Hear me willow and weep for me
Gone my lovely dreams lovely summer dreams
Gone and left me here
To wheep my tears along the stream
Sad as I can be
Hear me willow and weep for me
Whisper to the wind and say
Thay love has sinned
To leave my heart a sign and crying alone
Murmur to the night hide her starry light
So none will find me sighing
Crying all alone wheeping willow tree
Wheeping sympathy
Bent your branches down along the
Ground and cover me listen to me plee




Hear me willow and weep for me willow
Willow wheep for me
