THE aLIMp MAN.

S-AANAN NaFAANe
The blind man at his window hars
Stands In the morning dewy dim
The lily footed dawn, ths stars
That wait for It, are naught to him.
And naught to his unseeinE eyes
The brownness Of \ sunny plain.
Where worn and dfowsy August lies
And wakens but to sleep again.
And naught to him q greening SLOPE
That yesrns up to tho heights above,
And naught the leaves of May that ope
As softly as the eyes oflove.
And naught to him the branching aisles
Athrong with woodland worshipers.
And naught the fields where summer
smiles
Among her sunburned laborers.
The way trailing streamlet goes,
Tho barefoot grasses on its brim,
The dew that some flower cup o'erhows
With silent Joy, are hid from him.
To him no breath of nature calls.
Upon his desk his work Is laid
BE looks up at the dingy walls
And listens to tho voice OF trade.
