EYES, by                 Poet Analysis    
First Line: The owl has come
Last Line: Have I not proved his wisdom is no fable?
Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.
Subject(s): Animals


The owl has come
Right into my house;
He comes down the chimney,
To look for a mouse –
And he sits on the rim of my old black table.

Lord, since I see
Those wonderful eyes,
As big as a man's
Or a maiden's in size –
Have I not proved his wisdom is no fable?
