LITTLE
BLUE EYES AND GOLDEN HAIR
|
|
LITTLE
blue eyes and golden hair
Sits like a fairy beside my chair,
And gazes with owlish look on the fire,
Where the great log crackles upon his pyre;
And down in my heart there broods a prayer, |
5 |
God
bless blue eyes and golden hair.
Little
blue eyes and golden hair
Chatters and laughs and knows no care;
Though far outside the night is bleak,
And under the eaves the shrill winds shriek
|
10 |
And
rattle the elm boughs chill and bare;
God bless blue eyes and golden hair.
Little
blue eyes and golden hair,
Taken all sudden and unaware,
Caught in the toils of the drowsy god,
|
15 |
Has
gone on a trip to the Land of Nod;
Half fallen in my lap she lies,
With a warp of dreams in her lash-hid eyes;
And deep in my heart still broods that prayer,
God bless blue eyes and golden hair. |
