First Line: Behind the blinds I sit and watch
Last Line: Nor'll guess when I am gone.
Alternate Author Name(s): Ramal, Walter; De La Mare, Walter


Behind the blinds I sit and watch
The people passing -- passing by;
And not a single one can see
My tiny watching eye.

They cannot see my little room,
All yellowed with the shaded sun,
They do not even know I'm here;
Nor'll guess when I am gone.
