@Song of Songs This is 17 years too late but IMO Peel is like the phrase keep your eyes peeled, as in keeping watch, His bruised eyes are watching the subject of the song. Face and Heel could be merism ( a literary technique giving two extremes intended to include everything in between.) And refer to the subject's whole body/person. Eaves as in gutters are like the channelling or spouting of water. 'My eyes are crying' -> 'My whole self is overflowing.
