Acadiensis/Volume 2/Number 4/Song
END thou down thy long-lashed glances
On the lover at thy feet,
In whose veins the red blood dances
As thy fairy form advances
Out of dreamland, Oh! my sweet!
Song.
END thou down thy long-lashed glancesOn the lover at thy feet,
In whose veins the red blood dances
As thy fairy form advances
Out of dreamland, Oh! my sweet!
For no starlight hath such splendour
And no sun such dewy heat;
'Neath thine eyes my heart grows tender
And my soul yields full surrender
To their radiance, Oh! my sweet!
And no sun such dewy heat;
'Neath thine eyes my heart grows tender
And my soul yields full surrender
To their radiance, Oh! my sweet!
As cool waters to the dying
Where stern foes in battle meet,
So thine eyes, no joys denying,
And thy smile with smile complying
Keep me living, Oh! my sweet!
