Melancholy Eyes

If her face were to paint her past glories
And her eyes were to tell a thousand stories
Then why doth her face seem jolly and nice
And why does she have melancholy eyes

She lights up your life with her beautiful smile
And takes on the world with grace in her stride
Then why oh why the Creator cries
That she should have melancholy eyes

She speaks in a tone that befits a queen
And laughs sweetly with elegance unseen
Then why does she take her beau by surprise
When she looks at him with melancholy eyes

She is blessed with the wisdom of a holy sage
Serenity and poise that is hard to gauge
Then why does all humanity sigh
When she wins their hearts with melancholy eyes
