IN THE EYE ABIDES THE HEART. Copyright, 1851, by Firth, Pond & Co. 
In the eye abides the heart, Every pure and tender feeling, All emotions worth revealing Through the eyes their charm impart. Words are often clothed in guile, For the lips with fear may falter; E'en confiding smiles may alter, Oh, believe not in a smile. 
Chorus. Tis the eye unveils the heart, Every pure and tender feeling; All emotions worth revealing To the eyes their glow impart. 
If thy bosom heaves a sigh For a fair and cherished maiden, Though her voice with love be laden, Mark the language of her eye. There each impulse of her soul Beams for thee in truth and candor; There her secret passions wander, There remain beyond control.-Chorus
