First Line: When gazing on thy beauteous eyes
Last Line: I begin weeping bitterly.
Subject(s): Eyes; Kisses; Love
WHEN gazing on thy beauteous eyes
All thought of sorrow straightway flies;
But when I kiss thy mouth so sweet,
My cure is perfect and complete.
When leaning on thy darling breast,
I feel with heavenly rapture blest;
But when thou sayest: "I love thee!"
I begin weeping bitterly.
