Blind

God, Who gave the world its fairness,

Swooning seas and ardent skies;

Fashioned it with every rareness

That could dazzle human eyes;

God, Who gave me all of these,

Help me do without them, please.

Giver of the light and flowers,

Running stream and forest tree,

Help me through the heavy hours,

When I think what others see.

God, who took my sight away,

Help me do without it, pray.
