I sawthee weep

I sawthee weep
the big br i ght tear
came o er that eye of blue
and then me thought it did appear
a violet dropping dew
l sawthee smi le
the sapphi res blaze
beside thee ceased to shine
l t could not match the living rays
that filld that glance of thine
as clouds from yonder sun receive
a deep and mellow dye
which scarce the shade of coming eve
can banish from the sky
those sei les unto the moodrest mind
their own pure jov impart
their sunshing leaves a glow behind
that lightens oer the hear t
