In just two lines, the speaker makes a quiet, tender wish: to look at the world the way another person does. The "you" is never named, and the poem doesn't say who they are. Judging by the words alone, it could be a loved one, a friend, or someone the speaker admires.

What stands out is the logic of the second line. The speaker doesn't say the world is beautiful and wants to share that. Instead, they say they need your eyes "so I can know how beautiful it is." That suggests that, on their own, they can't quite see it. Beauty is something they've heard about or sense from a distance, and this other person seems to be the one who truly sees it.

The mood is gentle, humble, and a little wistful. There's admiration here, and maybe a bit of longing, but no bitterness. It reads like a compliment disguised as a wish: the person being addressed makes the world look good simply by the way they see it.
