Analysis of Eileen
A silent springtime meadow, dewdrop covered and pristine
Could not surpass the magic of the beautiful Eileen.
For springtime meadows fade away, the flowers and the green
But always she is on my mind, the beautiful Eileen.
'Though I've not known her very long my eyes like what they've seen
And my arms know they'd love to hold the beautiful Eileen.
A silent springtime meadow, dewdrop covered and pristine
Could not surpass the magic of the beautiful Eileen.
