Her Eyes Twin Pools

by James Weldon Johnson

From Standard Ebooks · standardebooks/james-weldon-johnson_poetry

Her eyes, twin pools of mystic light, The blend of star-sheen and black night; O’er which, to sound their glamouring haze, A man might bend, and vainly gaze.
Her eyes, twin pools so dark and deep, In which life’s ancient mysteries sleep; Wherein, to seek the quested goal, A man might plunge, and lose his soul.
