The Eyes Poem by Thabani Khumalo
The Eyes
OH THE EYES THAT SAW IT ALL –
MANY A QUAINT BUT MANY THINGS,
THE EYES THAT SAW INDEED MANY THINGS
AND TURNED AND TOLD MY HEART AS QUOTED,
‘O BE HUMBLE MY HEART NOT PROUD,
FOR I HAVE SEEN LITTLE BUT KNOW NOT MUCH.’
OH THE EYES THAT SAW IT ALL –
MANY A QUAINT BUT MANY THINGS,
THE CITY THAT EMBRACED OFFENCES CLOSELY –
THE LIFE THE YOUNG SO DEARLY YEARN
WHEN THE LOVE THE OLD WOULD SEE AS GONE
AND YET THE OLD HAVE PAVED THIS WAY.
