XVIII. SWEET EYES OF BLUE.
To my Grandson, on the first anniversary of his birthday, May 19, 1880.
Sweet eyes of blue, I miss your light,
Flashed for a while upon my sight,
As lucid as the morning dew,
Or May-flower bursting into view
With its first petals fair and bright.
Flashed for a while upon my sight,
As lucid as the morning dew,
Or May-flower bursting into view
With its first petals fair and bright.
Your orbs are fountains of delight,
Twin mirrors of the azure height;
Heaven seems to kiss the earth in you,
Sweet eyes of blue.
Twin mirrors of the azure height;
Heaven seems to kiss the earth in you,
Sweet eyes of blue.
Shine on in meekness and in might,
Like stars that tremble through the night;
And, as life's journey we pursue,
Like speedwells bring us comfort true,
And still to Heavenly hope invite,
Sweet eyes of blue.
Like stars that tremble through the night;
And, as life's journey we pursue,
Like speedwells bring us comfort true,
And still to Heavenly hope invite,
Sweet eyes of blue.
