Hey Sly1trapp,
"I feel this poem is about lonliness and depression too (like what the others said)because he feels he must hide something when he drops his eyes to the Watchman. It is nonetheless a great poem, but it is obviously about sadness, lonliness, depression, and self despair. When he states "I have outwalked the furthest city light", he must either be running from someone, or maybe even himself. Maybe he did something in life that was so terrible that he must leave, and drop his eyes to the Watchman as if he has something to hide, and does not want to share."

The universal loneliness all humans share. In addition, our lack of love and belonging makes us feel guilty for some unresolved flaw or sin.
