Eyes: A Fragment

By Percy Bysshe ShelleySource: Percy Bysshe Shelley - PoetryDB (Public Domain)59 words

How eloquent are eyes!

Not the rapt poet's frenzied lay

When the soul's wildest feelings stray

Can speak so well as they.

How eloquent are eyes!

Not music's most impassioned note

On which Love's warmest fervours float

Like them bids rapture rise.

Love, look thus again,--

That your look may light a waste of years,

Darting the beam that conquers cares

Through the cold shower of tears.

Love, look thus again!
