The town is old and very steep	A
A place of bells and cloisters and grey towers	B
And black clad people walking in their sleep	A
A nun a priest a woman taking flowers	B
To her new grave and watched from end to end	C
By the great Church above through the still hours	B
But in the morning and the early dark	D
The children wake to dart from doors and call	E
Down the wide crooked street where at the bend	C
Before it climbs up to the park	D
Ken's is in the gabled house facing the Castle wall	E
	-
When first I came upon him there	F
Suddenly on the half lit stair	F
I think I hardly found a trace	G
Of likeness to a human face	G
In his And I said then	H
If in His image God made men	H
Some other must have made poor Ken	H
But for his eyes which looked at you	I
As two red wounded stars might do	I
	-
He scarcely spoke you scarcely heard	J
His voice broke off in little jars	K
To tears sometimes An uncouth bird	J
He seemed as he ploughed up the street	L
Groping with knarred high lifted feet	L
And arms thrust out as if to beat	L
Always against a threat of bars	K
	-
And oftener than not there'd be	M
A child just higher than his knee	M
Trotting beside him Through his dim	N
Long twilight this at least shone clear	O
That all the children and the deer	O
Whom every day he went to see	M
Out in the park belonged to him	N
	-
God help the folk that next him sits	P
He fidgets so with his poor wits	P
The neighbours said on Sunday nights	Q
When he would go to Church to see the lights	Q
Although for these he used to fix	R
His eyes upon a crucifix	R
In a dark corner staring on	S
Till everybody else had gone	T
And sometimes in his evil fits	P
You could not move him from his chair	F
You did not look at him as he sat there	F
Biting his rosary to bits	P
While pointing to the Christ he tried to say	U
Take it away	U
	-
Nothing was dead	V
He said a bird if he picked up a broken wing	W
A perished leaf or any such thing	W
Was just a rose and once when I had said	V
He must not stand and knock there any more	X
He left a twig on the mat outside my door	X
	-
Not long ago	Y
The last thrush stiffened in the snow	Y
While black against a sullen sky	Z
The sighing pines stood by	Z
But now the wind has left our rattled pane	A2
To flutter the hedge sparrow's wing	W
The birches in the wood are red again	H
And only yesterday	U
The larks went up a little way to sing	W
What lovers say	U
Who loiter in the lanes to day	U
The buds begin to talk of May	U
With learned rooks on city trees	B2
And if God please	B2
With all of these	B2
We too shall see another Spring	W
	-
But in that red brick barn upon the hill	C2
I wonder can one own the deer	O
And does one walk with children still	C2
As one did here	D2
Do roses grow	Y
Beneath those twenty windows in a row	Y
And if some night	E2
When you have not seen any light	E2
They cannot move you from your chair	F
What happens there	F
I do not know	Y
	-
So when they took	F2
Ken to that place I did not look	F2
After he called and turned on me	M
His eyes These I shall see	M
