The Glimpse

HERstarry eyes, with lightning glance,Arrest me like a swift-thrown lance,As I ride down the narrow lane;And backward on my wheel I crane,Another glimpse to catch askance.My fickle steed begins to prance,And leads me such a lively dance,That danger signals glint in vain,Her starry eyes.O Fortune! if, by happy chance,You’d throw this fair one in a trance,Until I tumble on the plain—But no! she cries a laughing rain—A header dims my brief romance,Her starry eyes.And now whene’er I pass the seatWhere first I met that maiden sweet,My aching heart is smote again;The blush of shame o’ermounts my brow,And bids me soft repeat the vow,Her starry eyes.Jay Gee.

HERstarry eyes, with lightning glance,

Arrest me like a swift-thrown lance,

As I ride down the narrow lane;

And backward on my wheel I crane,

Another glimpse to catch askance.

My fickle steed begins to prance,And leads me such a lively dance,That danger signals glint in vain,Her starry eyes.

My fickle steed begins to prance,

And leads me such a lively dance,

That danger signals glint in vain,

Her starry eyes.

O Fortune! if, by happy chance,You’d throw this fair one in a trance,Until I tumble on the plain—But no! she cries a laughing rain—A header dims my brief romance,Her starry eyes.

O Fortune! if, by happy chance,

You’d throw this fair one in a trance,

Until I tumble on the plain—

But no! she cries a laughing rain—

A header dims my brief romance,

Her starry eyes.

And now whene’er I pass the seatWhere first I met that maiden sweet,My aching heart is smote again;The blush of shame o’ermounts my brow,And bids me soft repeat the vow,Her starry eyes.

And now whene’er I pass the seat

Where first I met that maiden sweet,

My aching heart is smote again;

The blush of shame o’ermounts my brow,

And bids me soft repeat the vow,

Her starry eyes.
