Whene'er I See Those Smiling Eyes
Whene'er I See Those Smiling Eyes | |
Thomas Moore, from Irish Melodies, vol. 7
| When'er I see those smiling eyes, So full of hope, and joy, and light, As if no cloud could ever rise, To dim a heaven so purely bright I sigh to think how soon that brow In grief may lose its every ray, And that light heart, so joyous now, Almost forget it once was gay. | 2. For time will come with all its blights, The ruin'd hope, the friend unkind, And love, that leaves, where'er it lights, A chill'd or burning heart behind: While youth, that now like snow appears, Ere sullied by the darkening rain, When once 'tis touch'd by sorrow's tears, Can never shine so bright again. |
