Beautiful Eyes..

"Your beautiful eyes"- They are as lovely as the dew,
On the violet's bloom when the morning is new.
And the light of their love is the gleam of the sun,
Over the meadows of Spring where the quick shadows run;
As the morn shirts the mists and the clouds from the skies,
So I stand in the dawn of your beautiful eyes.

And your beautiful eyes are as mid-day to me,
When the lily-bell bends with the weight of the bee,
And the throat of the thrush is a pulse in the heat,
And the senses are drugged with the subtle and sweet
And delirious breaths of the air's lullabies;
So I swoon in the noon of your beautiful eyes.

Oh your beautiful eyes! They have smitten mine own.
As a glory glanced down from the glare of thousand thrones;
And I reel, and I falter and fall, as afar
Fell the shepherds that looked on the mystical star,
And yet dazed in the tidings that bade them arise;
So I grope through the night of your beautiful eyes.
