| O is for Open written by William Henry Davies |
| From "A Poet's Alphabet", 1925 | Link to further information |
Are those small silver tumps a town,
And are those dewdrops windows there;
Is that dark patch a hill or cloud,
And which is Earth, and which is air?
Lord, when I see a world so vast,
This large, bewildering stretch of land;
The far-off fields, the clumps of woods,
The hills as thin as clouds beyond -
When I see this, I shrink in fear,
That if I once but close my eye,
The ends will sink, and leave me dazed
Before a monstrous, empty sky!
