IF love is blind, how can it be
That these blind eyes of mine should see,
As I was walking down the way,
The flutter of a garment gray
Beneath the windy willow-tree?

And as I walked more rapidly,
How could I know she did not flee,
But made an innocent delay,
If love is blind?

I saw her soft hair blowing free,
I saw her flushing tenderly,
And in her eyes there shone a ray
Caught from the east at dawn of day:
How could I tell it was for me,
If love is blind?
