Poem by Frances Anne (Fanny) Kemble

To ---

Oh, turn those eyes away from me!
   Though sweet, yet fearful are their rays;
And though they beam so tenderly,
   I feel, I tremble ’neath their gaze.
Oh, turn those eyes away! for though
   To meet their glance I may not dare,
I know their light is on my brow,
   By the warm blood that mantles there.
