Occhi Verde

Love, love, love
my dear, don't blush
look me in the eye
and say that.

Green eyes swallow many things beyond belief:
Love which prevents my answer
forbids your question.

Don't fidgit, dear, stand still.
Don't blush, don't go dumb.
Green eyes drown many uncertainties.
Confess the small crimes with heart-felt rue.
Let the big ones speak for themselves.
