THOSE EYES OF BROWN OR BLUE, by OLIVER MURRAY EDWARDS First Line: Sweet maiden with the golden hair Last Line: Because I love the two. Subject(s): Love | |||
Sweet maiden with the golden hair And eyes of tender blue, No lily ever was so fair Or rose as sweet as you; Thy smile is like the morning mist— The sun just breaking through. Dear maiden with the velvet cheeks And melting eyes of brown, Soft are thy lips whilst beauty speaks, 'Neath lashes drooping down Concealing darts of fire that pierce When thou dost choose to frown. I know not which hath more appeal— Those eyes of brown or blue, For either pair can fascinate Until my heart beats true; And so I ever hesitate Because I love the two. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD A CHRISTMAS CAROL AND ANTHEM by OLIVER MURRAY EDWARDS |
