Poems (Davidson)/To Margaret's Eye
TO MARGARET'S EYE.
O! I have seen the blush of morn, And I have seen the evening sky;But ah! they faded when I gazed On the bright heaven of Margaret's eye.
I've seen the Queen of evening ride Majestic 'mid the clouds on high;But e'en Diana in her pride Was dim near Margaret's brilliant eye.
I've seen the azure vault of heaven, I've seen the star-bespangled sky;But O! I would the whole have given For one sweet glance from Margaret's eye.
I've seen the dew upon the rose; It trembled 'neath the zephyr's sigh;But O! the tear which Nature shed Was dim near that in Margaret's eye.
