SONG.
While I gazed on her eye of luxurient blue.
Delighted to see it in languishment roll;
So persuasively tender and mellow with dew,
So rich in voluptuous breathings of soul.
The sweetest sensations of pleasure found birth,
And I sigh'd for her lip of the sea-color'd die;
And I thought 'twould be heaven to possess upon earth,
The white bosom'd maid of the blue rolling eye.
While I gazed on the seraph-like turn of her form,
Each eloquent motion, enraptur'd to trace,
I said—If the heart it enshrines is as warm
As the maid is bewitching and matchless in grace;
That in ranging the world I had never yet known,
A nymph on whose charms I had gaz'd with a sigh
I could make, with such exquisite transport my own,
As the white bosom'd maid of the blue rolling eye.
While I gazed on her eye of luxurient blue.
Delighted to see it in languishment roll;
So persuasively tender and mellow with dew,
So rich in voluptuous breathings of soul.
The sweetest sensations of pleasure found birth,
And I sigh'd for her lip of the sea-color'd die;
And I thought 'twould be heaven to possess upon earth,
The white bosom'd maid of the blue rolling eye.
While I gazed on the seraph-like turn of her form,
Each eloquent motion, enraptur'd to trace,
I said—If the heart it enshrines is as warm
As the maid is bewitching and matchless in grace;
That in ranging the world I had never yet known,
A nymph on whose charms I had gaz'd with a sigh
I could make, with such exquisite transport my own,
As the white bosom'd maid of the blue rolling eye.
