SONG, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Thy dark eyes to mine, eilidh
Last Line: A falling star!
Alternate Author Name(s): Mor, Ian
Subject(s): Absence; Desire; Longing; Soul; Separation; Isolation


Thy dark eyes to mine, Eilidh,
Lamps of desire!
O how my soul leaps
Leaps to their fire!

Sure, now, if I in heaven,
Dreaming in bliss,
Heard but a whisper,
But the lost echo even
Of one such kiss—

All of the Soul of me
Would leap afar—
If that called me to thee,
Aye, I would leap afar
A falling star!
