First Line: How eloquent are eyes
Last Line: Love, look thus again!
Subject(s): Eyes
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 fervors 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!
