THE BLIND CIRLS LAMENT.

II is not that | cannot see
The birds and flowers Of spring,
IT'S not that beauty seems TO me,
A dreamy unknown thing:
Il is not that | cannot mark
The blue and sparkling sky,
Nor oceans foam, nor mountains peak,
That e'er / weep or sigh.
They tell me that the birds, whose notes
Fall rich and sweet and full
That those listen to and love,
Are not all beautiful!
They tell me that the gayest flowers
Which sunshine ever brings,
Are not the ones | know so well,
But strange and scentless things!
NV little brother leads me forth
To where the violets grow;
His gentle, aud yet careful step,
And tiny hand | know.
Nv mothers voice is soft and sweet,
Like music on my ear;
The very atmosphere seems love,
When these 10 me are near.
Nv father twines his arms around,
And draws me to his breast,
To kiss the poor, blind helpless girl
He says he loves the best.
'Tis lhen / ponder, all unknown,
1t may be-weep or sigh,
And think how glorious il must be
To meet affections EYE
