Today, when her eyes were closed
They absorbed these things unseen
They swept the void and scanned the dark
And carefully wiped them clean
With closed eyes she saw the ways
Thrills were embossed in the dark
She saw pulchritude and plenty
In abysses cold and stark
When her eyes closed, she saw
How the heart swells with feelings
To dizzying heights and plunging depths
Through all its capricious dealings
When an innocent heart was broken
And its pieces fell to the ground
Her eyes took them in willingly
Each little bit lying around
How much her eyes saw and captured
How many things great and small
How much they held in captive splendour
Though the dead see nothing at all
