BEAUTY WITH GREEN EYES.

Beauty with green eyes,
Beauty with grey,
Soft as the sunrise,
Bright as the day,
Be to me kind skies,
Hearken, I pray;
Beauty with grey eyes,
Beauty with brown,
Lo! what a depth lies,
Deep—deep down—
You must be very wise!
No—don't frown;

Beauty with brown eyes,
Beauty with green,
Just as each shade dies,
My sighs, Queen,
Follow, and sorrow flies
Colours between!
