“EYES OF BEAUTY”
Eyes of beauty, eyes of fire,
Rousing in me mad desire,
Rousing love that cannot tire;
Rousing in me mad desire,
Rousing love that cannot tire;
Eyes of beauty, eyes of green,
Sea-sweet colour, seldom seen,
Rippling eyelashes between;
Sea-sweet colour, seldom seen,
Rippling eyelashes between;
Eyes of beauty, eyes of brown,
Lovely, lowly, looking down,
Conquering wholly whom they crown;
Lovely, lowly, looking down,
Conquering wholly whom they crown;
Eyes of beauty, eyes of grey,
Soft as night-time, bright as day,
Born to govern, born to sway;
Soft as night-time, bright as day,
Born to govern, born to sway;

Eyes of green and brown and grey,
Fairer than noon's sunniest ray,
I love you more than words can say!
Fairer than noon's sunniest ray,
I love you more than words can say!
