BROWN EYES

    In early youth I made a vow
    That if to Cupid I should bow,
    The one for whom he aimed the dart
    At my desired, unclaimed heart,
    Must have brown eyes; large, soft brown eyes.

    Time came when eyes looked into mine;
    Large, soft brown eyes that seemed to shine
    With intellect. Did I succumb?
    Oh yes! for though the lips were dumb,
    Those lovely eyes I deemed a prize.

    Within their depths devotion shone,
    And as they gazed into my own,
    They seemed to say, "My love is thine.
    Please let me know that I have thine."
    And Oh! I knew his heart was true.

    My arms his snowy neck entwined,
    And I rejoiced a love to find
    So worshipful, so constant, true.
    How oft they've thrilled me through and through,
    My collie's wise, large, soft brown eyes!
