Vivian with the Smokey Grey Eyes

A little girl with smokey eyes;
As bright and clear as morning skies.
And golden hair, wild with wavy locks
That dance a flutter in the breeze like flocks
Of gambolling lambs 'neath the trusting gaze
Of the Shepard's eyes watchful eye unfazed:
Comforts each lamb, each one he'd raised
As though his child, born in his arms,
Asleep, secure and kept from harm.

Whether day or night: awake or asleep,
He keeps them safe within his deep
Love where fear is stayed
(Though in this dreadful world we are betrayed.)
But, child, one day Christ will come on the clouds;
He'll come and take us from here with a loud shout
From heaven, where no evil can live
To stain our thoughts; our soul the Devil sieves.

In that place no evil will pursue
Us to the Mansion prepared for me and you.
