Far down in the balmy-breathing dale,

I get a glimpse of her flimsy veil.

In the glow of the lurid sunset hue

I see the robe which her limbs shine through.

On the grass-blade wet I see the tears

Her eyes have shed for our hopes and fears.

Her eyes ... her eyes ... the infinite deeps

Of the holiest heavens where God He keeps

All that is beautiful, good, and true—

Her eyes are the infinite heaven's blue,
