 | Lyrics by John B Tabb |  |
63
TO A BLIND BABE, SLEEPING.
Are thy dreams dark? or is the light
Alone denied thy waking sight,
While softer stars their vigils keep
Within thy hemisphere of sleep?
Alone denied thy waking sight,
While softer stars their vigils keep
Within thy hemisphere of sleep?
Yea: haply, as noon-blinded beams
Awake in darkness, o'er thy dreams
The pity that begets our tears,
A kindling radiance appears.
Awake in darkness, o'er thy dreams
The pity that begets our tears,
A kindling radiance appears.
