Where My Sight Goes

By Yvor Winters


WHO knows
Where my sight goes,
What your sight shows—
Where the peachtree blows?

The frogs sing	5
Of everything,
And children run
As leaves swing;

And many women pass
Dressed in white,	10
As thoughts of noon pass
From sea to sea.

And all these things would take
My life from me.
