Full Lyrics
Have you seen my lady's eyes
Flash with laughter kind and bright?
Never dews from dawning skies
Drew so fair and fine a light.
Should you see them you were lost;
Shun them, shun them, count the cost.
If she do not smile on you,
Look not on her, lest you rue.
Have you seen my lady dream
In an hour of soft repose?
Like shut lilies of the stream
Are her eyelids when they close.
Gaze not thither, if you're wise,
She's too fair for mortal eyes.
If she do not dream of you,
Look not on her, lest you rue.
Have you heard my lady sing,
Lifting up her pretty throat?
Never woodland bird of Spring,
Shook night's heart with such a note.
List not to her, come not near,
'Tis too sweet for mortal ear.
If she do not sing for you,
Do not hearken, lest you rue.
