POETRY.
BY JOHN HAY.

He stood before the Sanhedrim;
The scOwlng rabbis gazed at him.
He rocked not of their praise or blame;
There was no fear. there was no shame,
For one upon whose dazZled eyes
The whole world poured its vast surprise.
The open heaven was far too near,
His first days light too sweet and clear,
To let him waste bis new gained ken
On the hate cl0uded face of men.
But still they questioned, Who art thou?
What bast thou been? What art thou now?
Thou art not he who yesterday
Sat here and begged beside the way;
For he was blind.
And I am he;
For acaS blind, Tut 7oto / see,
He told his story Ger and DER;
1t was his full hearts only lore:
A prophet ON the Sabbath day
Had touched his sightless eyes with clay,
And made him see who had been blind
Their words passed by him like the wind
Which raves and howls but cannot shock
The hundred-fathom- rooted rock.
Their threats and fury all went wide;
They could not touch his Hebrew pride.
Their sneers at Jesus and his band,
Nameless and homeless in the land,
Their boasts of Moses and his Lord.
All could not change him by one word.
I knoao not aohat this man may be,
Sinner or saint but as for me,
One thing knOac, that am he
Who once 9CoS blind, and nOac 1 see.
They were all doctors of renown,
The great men of famous town.
With deep brows, wrjnkled, broad and wise,
Beneath their wide phylacteries;
The wisdom of the East was theirs,
and honor crowned their silver hairs.
The man they Jeered and laughed to scorn
Was unlearned, poor, and humbiy born;
But he knew better far than they
What came TO him that Sabbath day;
And what the Christ had done for him
He knew, and not the Sdnhedrim.
