If I make the lashes dark
|
And the eyes more bright
|
And the lips more scarlet
|
Or ask if all be right
|
|
From mirror after mirror
|
No vanity is displayed
|
I'm looking for the face I had
|
Before the world was made
|
I'm looking for the face I had
|
Before the world was made
|
|
What if I look upon a man
|
As though on my beloved
|
And my blood be cold the while
|
And my heart unmoved?
|
|
Why should he think me cruel
|
Or that he is betrayed?
|
I'd have him love the thing that was
|
Before the world was made
|
I'd have him love the thing that was
|
Before the world was made
|
