HER EYES

Cotton Noe

I dare not look again! In those vast depths of infinite blue There are visions of joy and love as true As ever haunted a poet's ken.

This sordid earth's my lot; Those dreams must be forgot — I dare not look again. I dare not look again!

Those dreams must be forgot The infinite blue, with its love so true And the visions I dare not pen. This sordid earth's my lot.

Heavens! might I but look again!
