Thy dark eyes to mine
Charles Tomlinson Griffes
Thy dark eyes to mine, Eilidh,
Lamps of desire!
O how my soul leaps
Leaps to their fire!
Sure, now, if I in heaven,
Dreaming in bliss,
Heard but a whisper,
But the lost echo even
Of one such kiss --
All of the Soul of me
Would leap afar --
If that called me to thee
Aye, I would leap afar
A falling star!
