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 ⁺ Lightning’s jointed Road – ↑ ⁺ 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
Opon the window pane
Where other creatures put
their eyes –
Incautious – of the Sun –
