TO MISTRESS BROWN-EYES.
At Christmas-tide, by Christmas fire, You’ll read these tales of mine;-- I see, above my story-book, Your happy brown eyes shine.
Dear eyes, that front the future time So fearlessly to-day, Oh, may from them some kindly Fate Keep future tears away,
And give you all your heart desires, My little English maid, For whom, in this far-distant land, My loving prayers are said!
I pray for Peace, since Peace is good, For Love, since Love is best: If prayers bring blessings, Brown-eyed Girl, How much you will be blest!
L. C. M.
