The Dull Flame of Desire poetry in Stalker film

I love your eyes, my dear

their splendid, sparkling fire

when suddenly you raise them so to cast a swift embracing glance

like lightning flashing in the sky

but there's a charm that is greater still:

when my love's eyes are lowered

when all is fired by passions kiss

and through the downcast lashes

I see the dull flame of desire
