SONG, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Darling eyes, where smiles are waking
Last Line: And the word we say is, love.
Subject(s): Forests; Hunting; Woods; Hunters


DARLING eyes, where smiles are waking,
Through the mist of dewy tears,
Like the morning grayly breaking,
Ere the golden day appears;
Half-way sad, like shaded moonlight,
Through the covert's chequered leaves,
Half-way sweet, as stars that midnight
On the broidered azure weaves.

Darling eyes, forever changing
With some feeling dear and new,
Every soft emotion ranging,
But the soul still gushing through;
Now with falcon glances gleaming,
Underneath the lifted lid,
Now with love's enchantments beaming,
Half behind their fringes hid.

Darling eyes, where ever hovering,
In the sunshine or the shower,
Looks the spirit through its covering,
As beneath a gem a flower;
Oh, for every sweet confession,
Each a world's delights above,
All we know is one expression,
And the word we say is, Love.
