His Eye


 His eye

John Clare Stokes


Was this the eye of prey

Watching the sparrow perch

To pounce and suddenly slay

Nothing but Cheshire smirch 


Was this the eye of friend

Watching the sparrow sing

To stay the sudden pouncing

The eye of loving wing


Or was it the eye of One

Who watches every tiny thing

Staying the claw from coming

To little wings.
