Beautiful Eyes

by Georgia Douglas Johnson

From Standard Ebooks · standardebooks/georgia-douglas-johnson_poetry

Eyes like the violet⁠—in them I see All that is fair, that is holy to me! Eyes that shed fragrance, so constant, so true, Pure as a clear drop of morning dew.

Eyes like the violet, gently along Lead me to vespers⁠—to prayer and to song. Eyes like the violet, let me I pray Live within range of thy glances all day!
