My eyes gleam
Christian Sinding
"My eyes gleam
like the heavens so clear";
But you come and you go,
you tall hussar!
You come and you go,
and come back again!
Perhaps it will transpire
that you find happiness.
Why does your black horse graze
on my mignonette?
Is that the thanks I get
for the love that I gave you?
Why are your spurs
destroying my spinning yarn?
Why do you hang on my fence
your colorful jacket?
Just clear off from here,
on your rude beast,
and leave my "cheerful
star-like eyes" to me!
