Eyes: A Fragment.

Topics: classic

How eloquent are eyes!     Not the rapt poet's frenzied lay     When the soul's wildest feelings stray     Can speak so well as they.     How eloquent are eyes!     Not music's most impassioned note     On which Love's warmest fervours float     Like them bids rapture rise.     Love, look thus again, -     That your look may light a waste of years,     Darting the beam that conquers cares     Through the cold shower of tears.     Love, look thus again!
