eye - organ of sight of animals;
the visible external part of the eye.
(Old English eage)
Through the fierceness, the cymbaling of colors,
Through the chattering of birds, through their songs,
Through the green quiet, the hot languor of noon,
Through the slenderness of maiden trees kissed aflame by the mouth of the
Spring,
Through the beautiful Dusk; through the beautiful, blue-black hair of the
Dusk,
Your Eyes
Through the downiness of the grey dawn,
Through its grey gossamer softness -
Your eyes;
Through the wonder-shine of the one star,
Beautiful, solitary, in the East -
Your eyes;
Through the whitening glory of the springing sun-
Your eyes;
Delicate, lovely, swaying in the treetops,
Through the softness of little feathered breasts and throats
Through the skitterings of little feet,
Through the whirrings of silken wings -
Your eyes;
Sudden, through its cleft peace-
Your eyes;
Through them standing against a slowly goldening Western sky,
Through them standing very still, wondering,
Wistful, waiting -
Your eyes;
Through her beautiful parted hair -
Your eyes ,
Kissing mine.
