Identifier	MUM00682_139
Title	Uncle Tom's Lament for Eva / written and composed by I.B. Woodbury
Author	Woodbury, I. B. (Isaac Baker), 1819-1858
Date	1852
Publisher	New York: Oliver Ditson , 1852
Location	New York (N.Y.)
Subject	Songs -- United States -- 19th Century Popular Music -- United States
Transcript	Lyrics: First verse The sun arose in beauty, The birds caroled their song; Sweet flowers sent forth their fragrance, And decked the verdant lawn. But sad my heart was breaking, No gleam of sunshine there, All, all was drear and darkling, No comfort, e'en in prayer. For ‘twas the morn they laid you, Dear Eva, in thy grave, E'en now my heart is breaking, O God, in pity save. Thou knowest human weakness, Thou knowest human wo; O take me to those mansions Where heavenly waters flow. Second verse There, ‘mid seraphic beings, I'll meet my darling one, And join with her in singing Amid that heavenly throng. Forever and forever Our swelling songs shall rise; O take me to those mansions Far, far beyond the skies. Third verse Again the sun in beauty Arose in cloudless dawn; Again sweet flowers in fragrance Bloomed gaily o'er the lawn. But Uncle Tom ne'er heeds them, He's joined the angel throng, And strikes his harp immortal To Eva's heavenly song.
