Beauty's eyes

I want no stars in heav'n to guide me,

I need no moon - no sun to shine

While I have you, sweetheart beside me,

While I know that you are mine.

I need not fear whate'er betide me,

For straight and sweet my pathway lies,

I want no stars in heav'n to guide me,

While I gaze in your dear eyes.

I hear no birds at twilight calling,

I catch no music in the streams

While your golden words are falling,

While you whisper in my drems.

Ev'ry sound of joy enthralling

Speaks in your dear voice alone,

While I hear your fond lips calling,

While you speak to me, mine own.

I want no kingdom where thou art, love,

I want no throne to make me blest,

While within thy tender heart, love,

Thou wilt take my heart to rest.

Kings must play a weary part, love,

Thrones must ring with wild alarms,

But the kingdom of my heart, love,

Lies within thy loving arms.
