CALLIRHOE.
DARK eyes—dark eyes—pale, earnest face,
Oh, when I feel your power,
The world seems mean and pitiful,
Its fiercest storm a shower.
Oh, when I feel your power,
The world seems mean and pitiful,
Its fiercest storm a shower.
Dark eyes—eternal soul of pride!
Deep life of all that's true!
Oh, what were death or anything
To one full thought of you?
Deep life of all that's true!
Oh, what were death or anything
To one full thought of you?
Away, away to other skies!
Away o'er sea and sands!
Such eyes as those were never made
To shine in earthly lands.
Away o'er sea and sands!
Such eyes as those were never made
To shine in earthly lands.
