Inspired by The Owl written by Alfred, Lord Tennyson located in A Children’s Book of Verse, Illustrated by Eric Kincaid, Poems selected by Marjorie Rogers. (Brimax Books)
Nights of stark cold black gloomy and clear he watches wide eye all beneath and around
Saying a simple question of “who” he asks and receives an answer from all who pass by
Unblinking eyes of looking far within make all hesitate to come around for he tells he tells Poppa God all
Irregardless of whom it be he looks and says I know I know and cries within to help ease a sorrow deep
Eyes wide with shadows of fear he watches anyway for it is his duty to alleviate crime crime done mean without right
I am here in belfry, in the woods and fly through the night to help I am all trouble deed I be here for I am wise wise and know much of God’s word
