IDENTITY, by                    
First Line: But the eye of god
Last Line: That is his own bad eyesight.
Subject(s): Identity; Mankind; Men; Self; Human Race


But the eye of God,
Does it know the merry hawk
From the bitter one?
And the fly that is a good loser
From the other that groans
At the lack of bread?
Man complacent,
Assumes for himself alone
Identity,
And watching the duplication of grackles
In the autumn skies,
Attributes to first causes
A lack,
That is his own bad eyesight.
