Lyrics: Anna Maria Porter
Turn, turn those eyes, whose dewy light
Spreads tender languor o'er my soul,
Whose orbs, like waning vesper bright,
Through mists of melting softness roll.
Turn, ah turn those eyes, for now they dart
Resistless lightning through my heart.
Hide, hide those lips that smiling meet,
Vermeil and warm as sunny fruit,
Through which thy breath, ambrosial sweet,
Coldly denies my ardent suit.
Ah, hide those lips, for pity's sake;
They tempt the kiss I dare not take.
Turn, turn those eyes, whose dewy light
Spreads tender languor o'er my soul,
Whose orbs, like waning vesper bright,
Through mists of melting softness roll.
Turn, ah turn those eyes, for now they dart
Resistless lightning through my heart.
Hide, hide those lips that smiling meet,
Vermeil and warm as sunny fruit,
Through which thy breath, ambrosial sweet,
Coldly denies my ardent suit.
Ah, hide those lips, for pity's sake;
They tempt the kiss I dare not take.
