TWIN JEWELS by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "ROGUISH, LAUGHING, SAUCY EYES"
Last Line: AS OF ONE WITH JOY O'ER-GLADDENED: / THEY ARE MINE
Subject(s): LOVE;
ROGUISH, laughing, saucy eyes;
Merry, twinkling, gleaming eyes;
Now with mocking glances daunting,
Or with coyest love-looks taunting;
Ever luring, yet repelling,
Half revealing, never telling
They are mine.

Tender, loving, soulful eyes;
Joyous, radiant, happy eyes;
Now with love's sweet passion beaming,
Glorious love-light through them streaming;
Often tear-dimmed, never saddened,
As of one with joy o'er-gladdened:
They are mine.
