Violet Eyes.

Ono can Eever quite forget
Eyes IKE yours, May Margaret.
Eyes Of dewy violetl
Nothing like them, Margar t,
Save the blossoms newly born
OF the May and of the Morn.
Oft my memory wanders lack
To those burning eyes and black,
Whose heat-hghtnings once coald move
Me to passion, not to love;
Longer ip my heart of hearts
Lipger those disguised arts.
Which, betimes, hasel pair
Used upon me unaware;
And the wise and tender gray
Eyes wherewith q saint might pray,
Speak ofpledges that endure,
And cf faith and vigils pure;
But for HIM who fain would know
All the fire the first can show,
Au the art or frienship fast.
OF the second and the last
Ard would gain q subtler Ecrth,
Part Of Heaven, part of Earth
He these mingled ravs can find
In but one immortal kind,
In those Eyes of Violet,
In your eyes, May Margaret
