From:
I love your eyes, my dear
Their splendid sparkling fire
When suddenly you raise them so
To cast a swift embracing glance
Like lightning flashing in the sky
But thereīs a charm that is greater still
When my loveīs eyes are lowered
When all is fired by passionīs kiss
And through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire
