Blue eyes, gray eyes, All the eyes that be, Hold within their changing depths Wealth of charm to me. Dark-eyed maid, of moment's fancy, Gay as stars above; Is it you that I adore, Or is it Love I love?

Love is the soothing voice of gods To which men ever list. Love is the ease of soul's travail And sorrow's alchemist.

Language: English
The burnished glow of the old-gold moon Shines brightly over me. A thousand stars, like a thousand isles In a dark and placid sea, Bring memories of a golden night, Bedecked in Autumn's hue And fragrant with the lilac's bloom, That brought me joy -- and you.
