In Your Eyes

Leon Herald

From “A Trifoliate”
To M. H.

NEVER before did I dare

To look in your eyes.

To see one’s self

In love’s mystic eyes

Is leading

Life in Paradise.

(Creator dreamed

And looked deep in space.

Then Being, the grace of His dream,

Began to evolve.

Thus He became famous,

And God is His name.)

When the light from my eyes

Falls in yours,

Immortal songs will take course—

Tuneful songs, the grace of my dreams.
