They'll leave thy heart a stranger to peaceful hours below! I worn you, men, give earnest heed! Let not bright eyes your sight mislead; And when blue eyes you glances win, look not too deep-too deep therin! Blue eyes with sould are beaming, They'll look thee through and through; with light of love they're streaming, so mild, and warm, and true. And when my heart is sore distressed, and sorrow fills my lonely breast. Let, then, blue eyes my glances win, -what joy, what bliss I see theirin! Blue eyes from heaven are lighted with holy, soul-born glow, to cheer poor man benighted, and charm him out of woe. And when cold wintry clouds arise, and shroud in gray sunny skies, then let blue eyes my glances win, - I find my sky-my day therin!>
