O that my head were waters, and my eyes fountains of tears, that I might weep day and night for my transgressions, Jeremiah 9:1(KJV) and might in such a manner sow in those tears as that at last I may reap in joy; may now go forth weeping, bearing precious seed, and may in due time come again with rejoicing, bringing in my sheaves with me.
