by Fritz Bennicke Hart (1874 - 1949)

Language: English 
Look within my loving eyes,
And there thou wilt see
Beauties my poor heart doth prize
Reflected, Sweet, from thee!

Coral-red thy lips are there
In all loveliness;
And thy wealth of sunny hair
Doth glisten, tress.

When thou see'st how fair thou art,
As mine eyes do prove,
Thou wilt haply ask thy heart
"How can he help but love?"

Composition:
