PRIDE AND HUMILITY by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES

Poet Analysis

First Line: HE PASSED ME BY IN APRIL, LORD
Last Line: AND WALKED BESIDE HER — BLIND.
Subject(s): HUMILITY;
He passed me by in April, Lord,
With what an awful frown!
He held an eyeglass to his eye,
And looked me up and down.

He passed me by in August, Lord,
With what a chastened mind!
He held a woman by her arm,
And walked beside her — blind.
