LOVE'S EYES.
LIGHT of my life! thy glorious eyes
Like stars above my heart arise—
Like stars that shine in midnight skies.
Like stars above my heart arise—
Like stars that shine in midnight skies.
Down in my bosom's deep they beam,
Like star-rays in some darksome stream—
Reflected there, mine own they seem.
Like star-rays in some darksome stream—
Reflected there, mine own they seem.
Reflected in my soul thou art—
And thy dear eyes of me are part:
By their pure light I read my heart.
And thy dear eyes of me are part:
By their pure light I read my heart.
Before their beams, so bright and clear,
My shadowy doubtings disappear;
And Hope is now where once was Fear.
My shadowy doubtings disappear;
And Hope is now where once was Fear.
Dear Eyes!—do not my heart forsake!
Shine, like the stars within the lake—
Shine, and the darksome shadows break!
Shine, like the stars within the lake—
Shine, and the darksome shadows break!
