When eye for eye is glancing,
Oft deep emotions rise,
Intwined with thoughts entrancing
Whose memory never dies.

When sigh for sigh is heaving,
Oft joy with grief is blent;
But, when fond hopes are leaving,
How sad the heart's lament!

When smile for smile is lighting
The fair angelic brow,
On lips that seem inviting
Who would not seal his vow?

When tear for tear is flowing,
Its light full oft reveals
A cherished love that's glowing,
Which still the lip conceals.

When heart for heart is beating,
Its language must be true:
The heart cannot be cheating
That only beats for you.
