Eyes reveal manifest magic;
Eyes that reveal clear sorcery
they remain still while setting hearts in motion.
When they stir hearts, serenity they wield

They charge with white blades, though black; their damascened pattern is
Raging in their whiteness, though black their cores
drooping and languor, and the eyelids are scabbards.
Withered, weary, with heavy lids they're stilled

Whenever they see a heart free of love,
When they spy a heart devoid of passion's heat
they say to it, 'Be enamored,' and so it is.
To it they command: be smitten! And it's filled
