A Well of Tears, I could distil 'em dry.
Bright Lamps extinguished! and no other Lights
Bright Lamps extinguish't! and no other Lights
Appear to chase the horror of our Nights!
Appear to chace the horrour of our Nights!
Shook by concussions of my Foes I stand,
Whilst few are raised to hold my trembling hand!
Whilst few are rais'd to hold my trembling hand!
