THINE EYES STILL SHINED.

Ralph Waldo Emerson. Konradin Kreutzer.

roved the land or sea: As I be - hold yon

showed his side of flame; When the rose-bud ri - pened

even - ing star, Which yet be - holds not me. This

morn I climbed the mist-y hill And roam'd the pas - tures through; How

I be - hold yon even-ing star. Which yet be-holds not me.
