Till I Went Out
written by William Henry Davies
From "Forty New Poems", (1918) Link to further information




Till I went out of doors to prove
What through my window I saw move;
To see if grass was brighter yet,
And if the stones were dark and wet;

Till I went out to see a sign -
That slanted rain, so light and fine,
Had almost settled in my mind
That I at last could see the wind.
