Ambition, and Other Poems/Eyes and Ears

Eyes and Ears
Would that the Powers that made my eyes so keen, To stare at things intently, near or far;That I discover twins at last, in what I thought at first was but a single star—Would that those Powers had made my ears the same, To tell the Oak and Maple in the dark;To recognize their songs in wind or rain, Before I knew their names by leaf or bark.
