Thy deep eyes, a double Planet, Gaze the wisest into madnessWith soft clear fire, — the winds that fan it Are those thoughts of tender gladnessWhich, like Zephyrs on the billow,Make thy gentle soul their To Sophia III. If whatever face thou paintest In those eyes grows pale with the fainting soul is faintest When it hears thy harps wild not that when thou speakestOf the weak my heart is weakest. IV.
