In the eye abides the heart Every pure and tender feeling All emotions worth revealing To the eyes their glow impart Words are often clothed in guile may For the lips will with fear will falther may E'en confiding smiles will alter Oh believe not in a smile Tis the eye unveils the heart every pure and tender feeling All emotions worth revealing Through the eyes this charm impart If thy bosom heaves a sigh For a fair and cherished maidn Though her voice with love be laden Read the language of her eye There each impulse of her soul Beams for thee in truth and candor There her secret passions wander There remain beyond control
