The Blind Man

Skipwith Cannéll

HE sits in the sun and warms

The blind eyes of him

In the light of it.

In the heart of him is no anger.

At the Great Queen

Who blinded him;

’Twas a proud woman

Put out his eyes and left him

To warm their sockets

In the heat of the sun.

Only in the grey mists,

Only in the black rain

Burns a little anger

That she has made him blind.
