Oh, brown Eyes with long black lashes, 
Young brown Eyes, 
Depths of night from which there flashes 
Lightning as of summer skies, 
Beautiful brown Eyes! 

In your veiled mysterious splendour 
Passion lies 
Sleeping, but with sudden tender 
Dreams that fill with vague surmise 
Beautiful brown Eyes. 

All my soul, with yearning shaken, 
Asks in sighs-- 
Who will see your heart awaken, 
Love's divine sunrise 
In those young brown Eyes?
