If 1 we're blind, and thou shouldst enter |
Fer so softly in the room,
Ishould know it,

Something subtle would revealit
And glory round thee center
That would tighten up the gloom.
And my heart would surely guide me,
With loves second sight provide me,

Ill were blind!
If were deaf, and thou hadst spoken
Ere thy presence hal knowna

Something subtle would reveal it,
And the seal at once be broken
By Loves liquid undertone.
Deafto other stranger voices,
And the worlds discordant noises
Whisper, whereso'er thou art,
Twill reach my heart!
