The Dull Flame of Desire

The dull flame of desire
I love your eyes, my dear
Their splendid sparkling fire
When suddenly you raise them so
To cast a swift embracing glance
Like lightning flashing in the sky
But there\'s a charm that is greater still
When my love\'s eyes are lowered
When all is fired by passion\'s kiss
And through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire
