Lyrics
Calm sea and April sky
In your oval opening eyes
While my swift indulgent brush
Invite your lips and cheeks to blush
------------------------------------------------
Gently now portray the maid
Whose brown and troubled braids
Hallow all her wondering years
For all is nearly childhood here
------------------------------------------------
So you sit within a smile
Before the dark brown door beguiles
With all that art and pain endows
Pleasure in a fresh pink blouse
-------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------
