She, without eyes, sees more than I who know Each dawn's thin flicker and each star's frail glow. She, without ears, hears more than I, beset With songs and nestlings subtle as the fret Of sun in leaves. She looks within, within: And hears the echo of the Seraphim! O eyes of me and ears of me, that seem Such happy handmaids to my Lord of Dream, Be humble! Bow yourselves and stand apart. Your visions fade before her high, pure heart! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BLIND POET by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) HE HAD A GOOD YEAR by MARVIN BELL THE BLIND SHEEP by RANDALL JARRELL THE BLIND by EDGAR LEE MASTERS THE BLIND DOG OF VENICE by RON PADGETT BATTLE AFTER WAR by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON BOARDING: 5.
