When my mother died I was very young,
And my father sold me while yet my tongue
Could scarcely cry 'weep! 'weep! 'weep!'weep!
So your chimneys I sweep, and in soot I sleep.
--
The Chimney Sweeper, st. 1William Blake

Do not weep, babe, for war is kind.
Because your father tumbled in the yellow trenches,
Raged at his breast, gulped and died,
Do not weep.
War is kind.Stephen Crane
O Nation, collect your compassion. Weep! For one of your shining lights is entombed in darkness. Weep! O ye officers and soldiers, whom he loved and led to military glory. Weep! O ye farmers and ye Poor, for your improver and benefactor has become a prey to worms. Come water his tomb with your tears.
James Morris
Shed no tear! O shed no tear!
The flower will bloom another year.
Weep no more! O weep no more!
Young buds sleep in the root's white core.John Keats
"Weep," said Athos, "weep, heart full of love, youth, and life! Alas, would I could weep like you!"
Alexandre Dumas
Weep not that the world changes—did it keep
A stable, changeless state, 'twere cause indeed to weep.William Cullen Bryant
