The Blind Boyby C. CibberO say what is that thing call'd Light,
Which I must ne'er enjoy;
What are the blessings 1 of the sight,
O tell your poor blind boy!
You talk of wondrous 2 things you see;
You say the sun shines bright:
I feel him warm, but how can he
Or make it day or night?
My day or night myself I make
Whene'er I sleep or play;
And could I ever keep awake
With me 'twere always day.
With heavy sighs I often hear
You mourn my hapless woe 3;
But sure with patience I can bear
A loss I ne'er can know.
Then let not what I cannot have
My cheer of mind destroy;
Whilst thus I sing, I am a king,
Although a poor blind boy.
