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 a1 whisper,

But the lost echo even

Of one such2 kiss --

All of the Soul of me

Would leap afar --

If that called me to thee

Aye, I would leap afar

A falling star!
