Edward Elgar - O happy eyes, Op. 18, No. 1 - текст песни (слова)

O happy eyes, for you will see
 My love, my lady pass today;
 What I may not, that may you say
 And ask for answer daringly.
 O happy eyes.
 
 O happy flow'rs that touch her dress,
 That touch her dress and take her smile,
 O whisper to her all the while
 Some words of love in idleness.
 O happy flowers.
 
 O happy airs that touch her cheek,
 And lightly kiss and float away,
 So carelessly as if in play,
 Why take ye all the joy I seek?
 
 O happy eyes my love to see,
 Alas! alas! I may not greet
 With word or touch my lady sweet;
 More happy eyes, say all for me.
