Very delicious your poetry, dear Gee! But feel pity, compassion or sympathy with me as a beginner. Where is the answer to my language question? Excuse me for being so late, I was abroad.
It's no doubt more usual to hear "tears are filling your eyes" "you have tears in your eyes" or even "tears are brought to your eyes"
"Tears get in your eyes" seems to me quite correct. Maybe it's not high-level language. But as for me it's likely that I say "I got tears in my eyes", as to get is a all-purpose verb which can replace a lot of other verbs. That's just the opinion of the 3-year or so GymGlish student that I am. Dare it! Vreni. The world will be yours.
