Lend me thine azure eye —
Beauty's fond dwelling!
And thy soul's melody —
Silvered and swelling!
Then may I win thy heart —
Gentle and guileless!
Till then I want the art —
Till then I'm smileless!

Hope's brilliant flash is gone —
Soother of sorrow!
Sadness lies where it shone,
Fearing to-morrow. —
Speechless and vain were tears,
Since thus we sever. —
Farewell! still this heart wears
Thine image, oh, ever!
