Poems, Dialogues in Verse and Epigrams | ||
CXLVIII.
[Give me the eyes that look on mine]
Give me the eyes that look on mine,And, when they see them dimly shine,
Are moister than they were.
Give me the eyes that fain would find
Some relicks of a youthful mind
Amid the wrecks of care.
Give me the eyes that catch at last
A few faint glimpses of the past,
And, like the arkite dove,
Bring back a long-lost olive bough,
And can discover even now
A heart that once could love.
