MARY'S EYES, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Where did mary get her eyes?
Last Line: Then she made the eyes of you.
Subject(s): Eyes


WHERE did Mary get her eyes?
Shall I tell you? From the skies.
Once a fairy princess skimming
Through the air when day was dimming,
Saw a flash of violet gleaming,
Like a sapphire, priceless, seeming.
Quick she flew,
And caught its hue,
In a sparkling cup of dew.
Then she made the eyes of you.
