THE BROOK.

ALL the eyes I ever knew
In this my strange life-dream,
Hazle, grey, and deepest blue,
Are mingled in this stream.

It wins its way into my soul,
Awakes each hidden feeling,
Gives me a rapture beyond control,
High love fills all my being.

In earnest eyes I chiefly live,
All words to me are nought,
For me they neither take nor give,
In the eye the soul is caught.

And now to see all that I love,
And have gazed at many an hour,
Blended together,—has heaven above
A greater joy in store?
