Weep not, my wanton, smile upon my knee;
When thou art old there's grief enough for thee.

Weep not, my wanton, smile upon my knee; When thou art old there's grief enough for thee.

Weep not, my wanton, smile upon my knee; When thou art old there's grief enough for thee.

Weep not, my wanton, smile upon my knee; When thou art old there's grief enough for thee.

Weep not, my wanton, smile upon my knee; When thou art old there's grief enough for thee.
