Nelson Eddy - Drink to me only with thine eyes

~~~~♫♫♫ ~~~~
Drink to me only with thine eyes,
And I will pledge with mine ;
Or leave a kiss within the cup
And I'll not ask for wine.
The thirst that from the soul doth rise
Doth ask a drink divine ;
But might I of Jove's nectar sup,
I would not change for thine.

I sent thee late a rosy wreath,
Not so much honouring thee
As giving it a hope that there
It could not withered be ;
But thou there on didst only breathe,
And sent'st it back to me,
Since when it grows and smells, I swear,
Not of itself but thee !
