BLUE EYES.

Violets, violets, blossoming low,Shadowy grasses under;Blue, blue eyes,Up at the skiesPeering, as if in wonder.What tho’ the garden with bloom be sweet,Its mantle the wood renewing;And the birdlings gladBe rollicking madAnd musical in their wooing;What tho’ the streamlet softly flow,Murmuring, laughing, grieving,And the livelong dayThe zephyr gayStory and rhyme be weaving;Never the spring-time hath been completeTill, the long grasses under,I find blue eyesUp at the skiesPeering, as if in wonder.

Violets, violets, blossoming low,

Shadowy grasses under;

Blue, blue eyes,

Up at the skies

Peering, as if in wonder.

What tho’ the garden with bloom be sweet,Its mantle the wood renewing;And the birdlings gladBe rollicking madAnd musical in their wooing;

What tho’ the garden with bloom be sweet,

Its mantle the wood renewing;

And the birdlings glad

Be rollicking mad

And musical in their wooing;

What tho’ the streamlet softly flow,Murmuring, laughing, grieving,And the livelong dayThe zephyr gayStory and rhyme be weaving;

What tho’ the streamlet softly flow,

Murmuring, laughing, grieving,

And the livelong day

The zephyr gay

Story and rhyme be weaving;

Never the spring-time hath been completeTill, the long grasses under,I find blue eyesUp at the skiesPeering, as if in wonder.

Never the spring-time hath been complete

Till, the long grasses under,

I find blue eyes

Up at the skies

Peering, as if in wonder.
