A gray eye is a sly eye, And roguish is a brown one; Turn full upon me thy eye,-- Ah, how its wavelets drown one! A blue eye is a true eye; Mysterious is a dark one, Which flashes like a spark-sun! A black eye is the best one.

Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron)

With eyes that look'd into the very soul-- . . . . Bright--and as black and burning as coal.

Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron)
