Hymns of the Holy Eastern Church‎#120

Text:	Stichera (From the Burial Office for a Child)
Translator:	John Brownlie

Who would not weep my child
To see thee still and dead?--
Thou from maternal arms,
Even as a bird hast fled:--
Who would not weep my child?

Who would not weep my child
To see thy faded brow,
Once like the lily, fair,
But lost to beauty now?--
Who would not weep my child?

Who would not weep my child?--
Like ship on boundless sea,
That leaves no track behind,
Lo, thou art gone from me,--
Who would not weep my child?
