Lyrics
Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears
Reflecting on life's challenges and sorrows, taking a moment to acknowledge them.
While we all sup sorrow with the poor
Sharing sorrows with those less fortunate, emphasizing a sense of common humanity.
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears
Highlighting the lasting impact of a song that captures the essence of difficult times.
Oh, hard times, come again no more
Expressing a desire for an end to difficult times.
'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary
Describing the song as a representation of the weariness felt by many.
Hard times, hard times, come again no more
Reiterating the plea for relief from hard times.
Many days you have lingered all around my door
Acknowledging the persistent presence of challenging times.
Oh, hard times, come again no more
Repeating the plea for an end to difficult circumstances.
While we seek mirth and beauty and music to light the way
Expressing a desire for joy, beauty, and music amid life's challenges.
There are frail forms fainting at the door
Highlighting the contrast between seeking joy and the suffering of those in need.
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say
Noting the silent but powerful plea for help from those facing adversity.
Oh, hard times, come again no more
Reiterating the plea for an end to hard times.
'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary
Emphasizing the weariness captured in the song.
Hard times, hard times, come again no more
Continuing the plea for relief from challenging times.
Many days you have lingered all around my door
Repeating the acknowledgment of the prolonged presence of hard times.
Oh, hard times, come again no more
Reiterating the desire for an end to difficult circumstances.
There's a pale drooping maiden who toils her life away
Describing a woman working tirelessly, whose best days are behind her.
With a worn out heart, whose better days are o'er
Highlighting the exhaustion of her heart and the challenges she faces.
Though her voice it would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day
Despite the potential for joy, her voice expresses constant sighs due to hardships.
Oh, hard times, come again no more
Reiterating the plea for an end to hard times.
'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary
Emphasizing the weariness felt by the woman, tying it to the broader theme.
Hard times, hard times, come again no more
Continuing the plea for relief from the pervasive hard times.
Many days you have lingered all around my door
Repeating the acknowledgment of the prolonged presence of challenging circumstances.
Oh, hard times, come again no more
Reiterating the desire for an end to difficult times.
Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave,
Describing a sigh that symbolizes the collective suffering carried across troubled waters.
Tis a wail that is heard upon our shore
Highlighting the wail of hardship heard on the shores.
Tis a dirge that is murmured around those lonely graves
Describing a mournful song surrounding lonely graves, symbolizing the impact of hard times.
Oh hard times come again no more.
Reiterating the plea for an end to difficult circumstances.
'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary
Emphasizing the weariness captured in the song and the collective plea for relief.
Hard times, hard times, come again no more
Continuing the plea for relief from challenging times.
Many days you have lingered all around my door
Repeating the acknowledgment of the prolonged presence of hard times.
Oh, hard times, come again no more
Reiterating the desire for an end to difficult times.
