Tenderly light the lips, and the shadow's golden Near the sunken eyes. Here the night has sparked This brilliant likeness - and from the dark night Only just one thing - the eyes - are growing dark.

However, the choice of good over evil is not always easy, because evil frequently lurks behind smiling eyes.
