THE EYES WE LOVE.

Blue eyes are soft as summer skies,
In their sweet depths bright Cupid nes;
They speak of love, Of truth and grace,
kindly heart and smiling face
That bashful innocence possess;
With glorious power they seen to bless
The love which you on them bestow.
The hazel eye, with luster bright,
Shines with CLEAN Of winning light,
Like the gazelles, with softest power,
They'll WOO you to their Eden bower:
They're filed with loves enchanting song,
To cheer life's dreary course along;
They've conquered worlds; orbs man frst saw
In Paradise, then broke Gods law.
Gray eyes command by cold disdain;
The intellectual they retain;
Now Hash with anger, wit or scorn,
Brave as great Mars. but cold as morn;
With naughty look, imperial pride,
Loves passion they can surely hide;
Though they may feel its gentle sway
They'll hide from you its heavenly say.
While eyes of black. all liquid fire,
Consumed by passion or desire
Burn like lamp, with love divine;
But jealous, like the serpent's shine:
They're all on fire with PASSIONS power;
They'll love and hate within an hour;
will die to shield the one loved best,
But wronged, will dagger his vile breast
mixture OF the two extremes,
The naughty gray, the blacks fierce beams,
Show iife's great course in different forms,
Through fowery paths, or darkest stormA
But when the hazel twines with blue,
What happy scenes present TO view;
The noble, generous, wise and good
Have all within their portals stood.
