Eulalie lyrics

I dwelt alone
In a world of moan
And my soul was a stagnant tide
Till the fair and gentle Eulalie
Became my blushing bride-
Till the yellow-haired young Eulalie
Became my smiling bride

Ah, less– less bright
Are the stars of night
Than the eyes of the radiant girl!
And never a flake
That the vapor can make
With the moon-tints of purple and pearl
Can vie with the modest Eulalie’s
Most unregarded curl-
Can compare with the bright-eyеd Eulalie’s
Most humble and carelеss curl

Now Doubt– now Pain
Come never again
For her soul gives me sigh for sigh
And all day long
Shines, bright and strong
Astarte within the sky
While ever to her dear Eulalie
Upturns her matron eye-
While ever to her young Eulalie
Upturns her violet eye
