The sun peeps through the window pane: Which children mark with laughing eye, And in the wet street steal again To tell each other spring is night.

    Children   Spring   Eye  
    John Clare (1827). “The Shepherd's Calendar: With Village Stories and Other Poems”, p.20

Or the view of your street from your window pane?
