Black And Blue Eyes.

    By Thomas Moore



            The brilliant black eye
            May in triumph let fly
    All its darts without Caring who feels 'em;
            But the soft eye of blue,
            Tho' it scatter wounds too,
    Is much better pleased when it heals 'em--
            Dear Fanny!
    Is much better pleased when it heals 'em.

            The black eye may say,
            "Come and worship my ray--
    "By adoring, perhaps you may move me!"
            But the blue eye, half hid,
            Says from under its lid,
    "I love and am yours, if you love me!"
            Yes, Fanny!
            The blue eye, half hid,
            Says, from under its lid,
    "I love and am yours, if you love me!"

            Come tell me, then, why
            In that lovely blue eye
    Not a charm of its tint I discover;
            Oh why should you wear
            The only blue pair
    That ever said "No" to a lover?
            Dear Fanny!
            Oh, why should you wear
            The only blue pair
    That ever said "No" to a lover?
