BLINDNESS


ALI! think, if Junc's delicious rays
The eye of sorrow can iumc,
o. wild Dccembe!'s beamless DAYS
Can fling o'er all transient gloom
All! think, if skies obscure or bti-ht.
Can thus 'yprcss or cheer the MUD;
Alb! think, midst clouds of utter r:iaht
What mournful moments wait the blind
And who shall tell his cause for woe,
To love the wife he nccr shall see;
TO be a size, and NOT to know
The silent babe that climbs his knee;
70 have his feelings daily torn;
With pain, the passing meal to find;
live DISTRESSED, and die forlorn,
Are ills that oft avail; the blind.
When 10 The breezy uplands led,
At noon, or blushing eve, or morn,
He hears the red breast DER his head
While round him br"athcs the scented thorn:
Bat OH! instead Of Nature. face,
Hills, dales and woods, ard streams CO rf,bin' A.
Instead of tints, aud forms, and grace
Nights blacklist mantle shroudi tho blind,

Midst countless thousands, pines un5Icst

Bows to the earth where all must rest
An! think when life's declining hours
To chilling pennry lie consigned,

Diseased natures gentle dew;

Nor aught could take her from her seat
Nor aught her constant ardor touch.
Whole days aud nights She calmly sat,
And watch'd him with an angels care;
And yet her dark blue eye WAS bright
Exhausted nature cleaned not there,
save when its lovely orb was vcil'd
With PHYS soul-dissolvins tear,
Which from her bosom's recess came,
And dnnm'd its Ius,rc with tear.
Aud dimm'i its lustre with tear.

The brightest daughter of the sky:
Why dust thou to the hut repair,
And from the Sildcd palace ily?
We traced thee, on the peasants check
We marked thee in tie milk maids smile
I've heard thee, loudly laugh and speak,
Ands, the sons of want and toll
Yet, in the circles of the great,
Where fortunes gifts are all combined,
Eve sought thee early, sought thee late,
And me'cr thy lovely form could find;
Since then from wealth and p"mp you flee,
ask but competence and thee.

And all her various objects of delight
Annull'd, which might in part my grief have eas't
Inferior To the vilcst now become
Of man worm; the vilrst here excel me,
They creep, yet see; dark in light, expos'i
To daily fraud, contempt, abuse, and wrong,
Within DOORS or without, still as fool,
In pow'r of Others, never in my own;
Scarce half seem TO live dead more than half.
o dark, dark, dark, amid the bluzc of noon,
luecoverably dark, total eclipse
Without Ill hope "f day!

Let there be- light, and light wa, over all:
Why am thus bcreav'd thy prime ;lccrce2
The to me is da;k,
And silent as the moon,
When She deserts the night
tlId liz her vacant uterluuar cave.
Since light necessary is to life,
And almost life itself, if it be tue
That light is in the soul
Soe all in every part, why was the sight
To such tender ball the eve confnd,
20 obvious aud so easy To be Quench'd?
And not, as feeling, through all parts diffus'd
That she might look at will thraug!, every pore,
Then had not been thus exld from light,
As IN the land Of darkness yet III light,
To live a life half dead, a living death,
And bury'd; but O yet more miserable.
Myself, my sepuchre. a moving grave
Buryd, yet not exempt
by privilege Of death and burial
From worst of ether evils; pains and yvgor,,e
But made hereby obnoxious mora
