The eyes of the body, being blindfold by night
Refer to the eyes of mind – at brain’s command
Study imagination’s map, then order out a hand
To journey forth as deputy for sight.
 
Thus and by these ordered ways
I come at you – Hand deft and delicate
To trace the suavely laid and intricate
Route of your body’s maze.
 
My hand, being deft and delicate, displays
Unerring judgment; cleaves between your thighs
Clean, as a ray-directed airplane flies.
 
Thus I, within these strictly ordered ways,
Although blindfolded, seize with more than sight
Your moonlit meadows and your shadowed night.
