That swoon the world with laughing light,

And touch the hills with tender glow

While all the vales are kissed below,

Beside you would no more be bright.

My worlds ye are, and while I throw

My heart to catch the beams that flow

From your fair shrine, my woes take flight,

Sweet eyes of blue!

Glad orbs of beauty! In your sight

My soul mounts up with secret might,
