A THOUGHT by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES

Poet Analysis

First Line: WHEN I LOOK INTO A GLASS
Last Line: WHEN I LOOK INTO A POOL.
Subject(s): SELF;
WHEN I look into a glass,
Myself's my only care;
But I look into a pool
For all the wonders there.

When I look into a glass,
I see a fool:
But I see a wise man
When I look into a pool.
