First Line: O! Your eyes are deep and tender
Last Line: Only constant in -- his song.
Subject(s): Singing & Singers; Songs


O! YOUR eyes are deep and tender,
O! your charmed voice is low,
But I've found your beauty's splendor
All a mockery and a show;
Slighted heart and broken promise
Follow wheresoe'er you go.

All your words are fair and golden,
All your actions false and wrong,
Not the noblest soul's beholden
To your weak affections long;
Only true in -- lover's fancy,
Only constant in -- his song.
