KINGS AND BEGGARS
My daughter, my daughter Oh why do you weep for me Is it because I have left you And sailed into the mystic sea
My daughter, my daughter Thy tears are not for me Thy heart is full of sorrow And it weeps only for thee
My daughter, my daughter Here’s my question with a sigh Why do you grieve for the living Why grieve for those who die
My daughter, my daughter Wipe those tears without delay
For life and death my darling dear Shall swiftly come and swiftly pass away
I have travelled far
And many places I have been Countless lights of the dawning sun And many many sunsets I have seen
