CLEAR eyes of heaven's chosen hue When not a cloud is seen above To fleck the warm untroubled blue, A little laughing face of love; A boundless energy of life In dimpled arms and rosy feet: No breath of care, no touch of strife, Has dulled thy glad heart's rhythmic beat. So girt about with golden light, By shadows still so little vexed, That many a weary anxious wight Grows in thy presence less perplexed. Our smiles come at thy fairy beck, Frowns pass away at thy caress; When thy soft arms are round my neck I feel God's wondrous tenderness. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...STUDY FOR A GEOGRAPHICAL TRAIL; 5.
