I
IRISH EYES
RISH eyes ! Irish eyes !
Eyes that most of all can move me! Lift one look From my book Through your lashes dark, and prove me In my worship, oh, how wise !
Other orbs, be content!
In your honor, not dispraisal Most I prize Irish eyes, Since were not your ebon, hazel, Violet,—all to light them lent ?
Then no mischief, merry eyes ! Stars' of thought, no jealous fancies Can 1 err To prefer This sweet union of your glances, Sparkling, darkling Irish eyes ?
B
KITTY BHAN
EFORE the first ray of blushing day, Who should come but Kitty Bahn, With her cheek like the rose on a bed of
snows, And her bosom beneath like the sailing swan. I looked and looked till my heart was gone.
