The Quiet 'Eye.
The orb I like is not the one,
That dazzles with its lightning gleam,
That dares to look upon the sun,
As though it challenged brighter beam,
That orb may sparkle, flash and roll,
Its fires may blaze, its shafts may fly;
But not for me; I prize the soul
That slumbers in a quiet eye.
There's something in its placid shade
That tells of calm unwordly thought,
Hope may be crown'd or joy delayed
No dimness steals no ray is caught:
Its passive language seems to say,
I know that I must close and die."
And death itself come when it may,
Can hardly change the quiet eye,
Theres meaning in its steady glance,
Of gentle blame or praising love,
That makes mc tremble to advance
A word that meaning might reprore.
The haughty threat the fiery look,
My spirit proudly can defy,
But never yet could meet and brook
The upbraiding of a quiet eye.
There's firmness in its even light,
That augurs of a breast sincere:
And oh! take watch how ye excite
That firmness till it yield a tear.
Some bosoms give an easy sigh,
Some drops of grief will easy start,
: But that which sears the quiet eye
Hath its deep fountain in the heart.
