Before I got my eye put out I liked as well to see - As other Creatures, that have Eyes And know no other way - But were it told to me - Today - That I might have the sky For mine - I tell you that my Heart Would split, for size of me - The Meadows - mine - The Mountains - mine - All Forests - Stintless Stars - As much of Noon as I could take Between my finite eyes - The Motions of the Dipping Birds - The Morning's Amber Road - For mine - to look at when I liked - The News would strike me dead - So safer - guess - with just my soul Upon the Window pane - Where other Creatures put their eyes - Incautious - of the Sun |
