Collected poems, 1901-1918 (Vol. 2)/The Window
THE WINDOW
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 am here;
Nor will guess when I am gone.
