SONG.

1

That peasant girl's blue eyes
Are beauty's stars to me;
They 're not like Summer skies,
Nor like the deep blue sea;—
Nor of the harebell's hue—
And yet they are sweetly blue!

2

That peasant girl is fair,—
And, when your eyes behold

119

Her white hand wreathe her hair,
'Tis ivory lost in gold;—
But still you 'll turn to woo
Those eyes so sweetly blue!
