THE BLIND BOY,

The day was bright and beautiful,
The boys to play had gone,
Save one, who sat beside the door,
Detected and alone.
And as the tone of merry sport
Came swelling to bis car,
lie sighed, and from his swelling eye-lids
He shook the gathering tear.
His little heart was rent with pain
He could not join the play;
He could not run about the fields,
And by the brook-s:de stray.
The rolling hoop, the bounding ball,
The kite borne on the wind
The acorn hunt-werc naught to him;
For he, alas. was blind.
lie could not see the setting sun,
And watch the glowing skies;
The beauty Of the moon and stars
Beamed not within the eyes.
The rainbow when it spanned the cloud,
Was lost upon his sight
And waving woods and sparkling streams
For all to him wps night.
These truths came fresh unto his mine,
When sitting thus apart;
No wonder, then, the tcar-drop fell,
And heavy was his heart.
All little did the youthful throng,
Whose hearts were full Of Joy,
Reflect upon the lonely state
OF that poor sightlcss boy!
