E IS FOR EYES, by                 Poet Analysis    
First Line: I need no glass to help my eyes
Last Line: That time is taking away from me.
Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.
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.
