THE VARIEGATED TULIP. 
Beautiful eyes are scarcely less diversified, 
and certainly admit of even a greater variety 
of expression. 
ILLUSTRATION OF THE SENTIMENT. 
Beautiful eyes! beautiful eyes! 
Tell us wherein your witchery lies ! 
The brilliant flash, 
Through the silken lash, 
That lightens on purpose our hearts to surprise. 
Is it here, is it here that your witchery lies? 
No ! no! 
It cannot be so ! 
’Tis not the glance, 
Which tries to entrance. 
That makes ye so beautiful, beautiful eyes. 
Beautiful eyes ! beautiful eyes ! 
List, while I tell where your witchery lies ! 
When a tear on the lash 
Gently tempers the flash, 
And the soul leaves the heart to peep out at the eyes, 
’Tis here, ’tis here that your witchery lies. 
Yes! yes! 
Though its fire be less, 
One beam of that light. 
So gentle, so bright, 
And, oh! we adore ye, beautiful eyes!
