That Girl’s Clear Eyes + 

That girl’s clear eyes utterly concealed all + 

Except that there was something to reveal. + 

And what did mine say in the interval? + 

No more: no less. They are but as a seal + 

Not to be broken till after I am dead; + 

And then vainly. Every one of us + 

This morning at our tasks left nothing said, + 

In spite of many words. We were sealed thus, + 

Like tombs. Nor until now could I admit + 

That all I cared for was the pleasure and pain + 

I tasted in the stony square sunlit, + 

Or the dark cloisters, or shade of airy plane, + 

While music blazed and children, line after line, + 

Marched past, hiding the “Seventeen Thirty-Nine.” + 
