E IS FOR EYES by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES

Poet Analysis

First Line: I NEED NO GLASS TO HELP MY EYES
Last Line: THAT TIME IS TAKING AWAY FROM ME.
Subject(s): EYES;
I need no glass to help my eyes,
My naked sight shows no decline;
A rich blind man would give his all
For one of these two jewels of mine.

But I'd give any poor blind man
One of these precious jewels free --
Could he restore the inward sight
That Time is taking away from me.
