Within thy chestnut eyes
I see a knowing Light
The Sparke of Life, the Candle-Bright
Light of thy chestnut eyes.
And when they are awake,
It's nearly more than I can take
It's like the whole Earth quakes
from the Light of thy chestnut eyes.
A cold eternal storm
Within it somehow still I'm warm
But everything's made clear
When I see thy chestnut eyes.
Within your crying eyes
I see a fading light
And I wonder, how to reignite
Those once-so-shining eyes.
And in thy paling face
That's struggling to keep awake
I wonder what's happened to the light
That came from thy Chestnut eyes.
Within your frozen eyes
I see no fleck of light
Not a single sight, of a sign of life
In your once-chestnut eyes.
