Gift Of Sight

I had long known the diverse tastes of the wood,
Each leaf, each bark, rank earth from every hollow;
Knew the smells of bird's breathe and of bat's wing;
Yet sight I had lacked: until you stole upon me,
Touching my eyelids with light finger-tips.
The trees blazed out, their color whirled together,
Nor ever before had I been aware of sky.

Robert Graves
