LEST I LEARN by WITTER BYNNER

Poet Analysis

First Line: LEST I LEARN, WITH CLEARER SIGHT
Last Line: AND MAKE A FOOL OF ME!
Subject(s): LEARNING;
Lest I learn, with clearer sight,
Such beauty cannot be --
Tie a bandage, pull it tight,
Blind me, I would not see!

Lest I learn, with clearer will,
Such wonder cannot be --
Oh, kiss me nearer, nearer still,
And make a fool of me!
