"Blind"

Blind

   I cannot see;
Yet God gives shining dreams to me
Of rainbow and of golden-fruited tree.

   How many go
Who, seeing yet sightless, never know
How blue the ocean is, how white the snow.

   And I shall gaze
Enraptured on the Ray of Rays—
Brighter, perhaps, for all my darkened days.
