Mercy James only shed tears
Her protectors fought hard
Not to be spared from her fears
She wished to have had
Mercy James only shed tears
Crying out loud in vain
Her protectors caused pain
Her eye-lids never clears
Mercy James only shed tears
She spoke not, only stood still
Anguish none could feel
Nor her mountain of fears
Mercy James only shed tears
She was betrayed and trapped
Her defenders celebrated and clapped
Tears of Mercy James, still flowing!
