THE ORIGIN OF TEARS by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: WHEN EVE, THE TWILIGHT HEAVENS TO VIEW
Last Line: BESTOWED HIS BLESSING ERE HE KNEW.
Subject(s): ADAM & EVE; BIBLE; TEARS;
When Eve, the twilight heavens to view,
Her eyes, like twin-born violets blue,
Upraised -- the angel of the Dew
Bestowed his blessing ere he knew.
