Full Lyrics
YOU’LL NEVER GUESS
I know two eyes, two soft brown eyes,
Two eyes as sweet and dear
As ever danced with gay surprise,
Or melted with a tear:
In whose fair rays a heart may bask—
Their shadowed rays serene—
But little maid, you must not ask
Whose gentle eyes I mean.
I know a voice of fairy tone
Like brooklet in the June,
That sings to please itself alone,
A little, old world tune:
Whose music haunts the listener’s ear
And will not leave it free;
But I shall never tell you, dear,
Whose accents they may be.
I know a goldenhearted maid,
For whom I built a shrine,
A leafy nook of murmurous shade,
Deep in this heart of mine;
And in that calm and cool recess
To make her home she came—
But oh! you’d never, never guess
That little maiden’s name.
