Sapphire eyes set in a face of gold

None had ‘er the world behold

He was the wonder of all around

And never did his countenance carry a frown

Sapphire eyes held both beauty and fire

Only rarely hid in their depths the ire

And from the west this lad came a callin’

The lasses hearts came tumblin’ and fallin’

Sapphire eyes was a soldier of war

He went to fight but never again graced the door

Of the lass that waited with her heart so full

She’d spun a dress made of white wool

Sapphire eyes never again would she see

Forever alone she consented to be

For never would she be the prize

Of anyone but Sapphire eyes
