If I make the lashes dark
If I make the lashes dark
And the eyes more bright
And the eyes more bright
And the lips more scarlet
And the lips more scarlet
Or ask if all be right
Or ask if all be right
From mirror after mirror
From mirror after mirror
No vanity's displayed
No vanity's displayed
I'm looking for the face I had
I'm looking for the face I had
Before the world was made
Before the world was made
I'm looking for the face I had
I'm looking for the face I had
Before the world was made
Before the world was made
What if I look upon a man
What if I look upon a man
As though on my beloved
As though on my beloved
And my blood be cold the while
And my blood be cold the while
And my heart unmoved?
And my heart unmoved?
Why should he think me cruel
Why should he think me cruel
Or that he is betrayed?
Or that he is betrayed?
I'd have him love the thing that was
I'd have him love the thing that was
Before the world was made
Before the world was made
I'd have him love the thing that was
I'd have him love the thing that was
Before the world was made
Before the world was made
