Unseemly are the open eyes
That watch the midnight sheep,
That look upon the secret skies
Nor close, abashed, in sleep;
That see the dawn drag in, unbidden,
To birth another day--
Oh, better far their gaze were hidden
Below the decent clay.

Unseemly are the open eyes

Nor close, abashed, in sleep;
That see the dawn drag in, unbidden,
To birth another day--
Oh, better far their gaze were hidden
Below the decent clay.
