the angle means something

always the eye returns to the same view

of plain and river and the water there

forming a boundary of sun and air

 

so much i thought at once merged old and new

there was no voice to warn nothing to fear

always the eye returns to the same view

 

where each looks westward seeking for a clue

where day has vanished and the load of care

seems now to double and we are aware

always the eye returns to the same view
