Eyeservice let me give The while I live; In shadow or in light, By day or night, With all my heart and skill Eyeservice still! Yes, for the eyes I'll serve -- Nor faint nor swerve -- Are not the eyes of man That lightly scan, But God's, that pierce and see The whole of me! Beneath the farthest skies Where morning flies, In heaven or in hell If I should dwell, In dark or daylight fair, The Eyes are there! No trembling fugitive, Boldly I live, If, as in that pure sight, I live aright, Yielding with hand and will Eyeservice still! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE POET; SONNET by AMY LOWELL THE REVEALER by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON THE WHITE LIGHTS by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON ASHURNATSIRPAL III by CARL SANDBURG VILLAGE IN LATE SUMMER by CARL SANDBURG THE SEALS IN PENOBSCOT BAY by KAREN SWENSON |
