THE WINDOW (1) by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE

Poet Analysis

First Line: BEHIND THE BLINDS I SIT AND WATCH
Last Line: NOR'LL GUESS WHEN I AM GONE.

Behind the blinds I sit and watch
The people passing -- passing by;
And not a single one can see
My tiny watching eye.

They cannot see my little room,
All yellowed with the shaded sun,
They do not even know I'm here;
Nor'll guess when I am gone.
