BLIND WEAVER.

A blind boy stood beside the loom
And wove a fabric. To and fro
Beneath his firm and steady touch
He made the busy shuttle go.
And oft the teacher passed that way
And gave the colors, thread by thread
But by the boy the pattern fair
Was all unseen. Its hues were dead
How can you weaver" We, plying,
cried;
The blind boy smiled, II do my best
| make the fabric firm, and strong,
And one who sees does all the rest.
oh. happy thought! beside life's loom
We blindly strive our best TO do,
And he who marked the pattern out
And holds the threads, will make II
true.
