But I saw his blue eyes looking elsewhere,

Like one who was trying to see.

He had come from a hut without windows,

A mud hut with only a door,

Yet his face was the face of the Saviour,

And I fain would speak to him more.

So I stopped, for his smile had a sweetness

That entered the gates of my soul;

I was hungry to know where it came from,

That I might its wonders extol.
