LOVE'S LOGIC by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "YOU ASK ME, MY DEAR, IN YOUR INNOCENT WAY"
Last Line: "MORE CONSTANT AND CLEAR THAN THE SHEEN OF THE SKIES, / AND THE COLOR OF HEAVEN IS BLUE"
Subject(s): COURTSHIP;
YOU ask me, my dear, in your innocent way,
Whether, from what I have seen, I should say
Your soft eyes are @3green@1 or are @3blue?@1
For in green eyes, you premised, sly coquetry dwells,
While the bonny blue eye ever certainly tells
of tenderness trusting and true.

Now, love, pray remember, although I have seen
In those orbs quite perceptible sparkles of green,
That some one is writing to you
Whose whole heaven lies in the light of your eyes,
More constant and clear than the sheen of the skies,
And the color of heaven is blue.
