Charles Hubert Hastings Parry - Thine eyes still shined for me - текст песни (слова)

Thine eyes still shined for me, 
Though far I lonely roved the land or sea: 
As I behold yon evening star, 
Which yet beholds not me. 
 

 This morn I climbed the misty hill, 
And roamed the pastures through; 
How danced thy form before my path 
Amidst the deep-eyed dew! 
 

 When the redbird spread his sable wing, 
And showed his side of flame; 
When the rosebud ripened to the rose, 
In both I read thy name. 
 

 
 Lyrics: Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882), Thine eyes still shined, from "Poems", published 1847.
