Eyeservice let me give The while I live; In shadow or in light, By day or night, With all my heart and skill Eyeservice still! Yes, for the eyes I'll serve -- Nor faint nor swerve -- Are not the eyes of man That lightly scan, But God's, that pierce and see The whole of me! Beneath the farthest skies Where morning flies, In heaven or in hell If I should dwell, In dark or daylight fair, The Eyes are there! No trembling fugitive, Boldly I live, If, as in that pure sight, I live aright, Yielding with hand and will Eyeservice still! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BALLADE AGAINST THE ENEMIES OF FRANCE by FRANCOIS VILLON UNCLE AN' AUNT by WILLIAM BARNES LES HALLES D'YPRES by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN TO THE PREACHERS ON ARMISTICE DAY by VINCENT GODFREY BURNS PRACTISING THE ANTHEM by ADA CAMBRIDGE |
