A poem by Walter De la Mare

Eyes

________________________________________________
Title:     Eyes
Author: Walter De la Mare [More Titles by De la Mare]

O strange devices that alone divide
The seer from the seen--
The very highway of earth's pomp and pride
That lies between
The traveller and the cheating, sweet delight
Of where he longs to be,
But which, bound hand and foot, he, close on night,
Can only see.







[The end]
Walter De la Mare's poem: Eyes
