Author: William Blake, 1757-1827 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #127 (1993) Meter: 7.7.7.7 First Line: Can I see another's woe Lyrics: 1 Can I see another’s woe,
and not be in sorrow too?
Can I see another’s grief,
and not seek for kind relief?
2 Can I see a falling tear,
and not feel my sorrow’s share?
Can a father see his child weep,
nor be with sorrow filled?
3 Can a mother sit and hear
infant groan, an infant fear?
No, no, never can it be!
Never, never can it be! Topics: Words and Deeds of Prophetic Women and Men Love and Compassion; Compassion; Parents; Sorrow Languages: English Tune Title: NUN KOMM, DER HEIDEN HEILAND
