Oh, Blue-Eyed Maid, I Sigh For Thee

Author: James Avis Bartley [More Titles by Bartley]

Oh! blue-eyed maid, I sigh for thee,
A gentle twilight's close,
When music dies upon the lea,
And dew drops wet the rose.
I look on tranquil nature round,
And list to music's fall,
And think but half their charms are found,
Since thou art far from all.

Oh, blue-eyed maid! the gorgeous beams
That light a monarch's hall,
The glittering wealth of golden streams,
To me were darkness all;
Unless thy light of loveliness,
Adorned the regal scene,
And thou bedecked in royal dress,
Shouldst reign my loving Queen.

[The end]
James Avis Bartley's poem: Oh, Blue-Eyed Maid, I Sigh For Thee
