Dark eyes—eternal soul of pride!
Deep life in all that's true!
* * * *
Away, away to other skies!
Away o'er seas and sands!
Such eyes as those were never made
To shine in other lands.

— Charles Godfrey Leland

More quotes by Charles Godfrey Leland

Love leads to present rapture,—then to pain;
But all through Love in time is healed again.

The brave deserve the lovely—every woman may be won.

Life will be lengthened while growing, for
Thought is the measure of life.

If all the world must see the world
As the world the world hath seen,
Then it were better for the world
That the world had never been.

Hans Breitmann gife a barty—
Where ish dat barty now?
