All But Blind Poem

All but blind
In his chambered hole,
Gropes for worms
The four-clawed mole.

All but blind
In the evening sky
The hooded bat
Twirls softly by

All but blind
In the burning day,
The barn owl
Blunders on her way.

And blind as are
These three to me,
So blind to someone
I must be.

If I am able to figure out how to give brainiest then I will.

Answer these questions:

1(a) In what way does the speaker assume that he is like the animals?
1(b)Why is the compassion between the animals and the speaker a surprise?
