Thy gentle eyes
And thy softening smile
Cease the fires that burn within me awhile
With one mere glance
Thee dash the doubt
And reveal the truth
That within
Did once dance in
The souls of men
A mind that's numb
With the sum and sin
Of the humanity of men
Is refreshed by thy rubious winds of cheer
Though let not jealousy in me arise
That breathe fire in these eyes
And spurn the path of any man
That should come between me
And thy subtle sincerity
Nay let me yet wash
In thy soothing sympathy
And drive away disparity
With thy sweetest charity
For such love so rare
Is found there alone
In the hearts of those
Whose gentle tongue
Could break any bone
