Single and indivisible. We pass fi-om change to change, Familiar with the strangest things. And with familiar, strange. We make the light through which we see The light, and make the dark : To hear the lark sing, we must be At heaven's gate with the lark. THE SADDEST SIGHT. As one that leadeth a blind man In a city, to and fro. Thought, even so, Leadeth me still wherever it will Through scenes of joy and woe. I have seen Lear, his white head crowned With poor straws, playing King ; And, wearyin...g Her cheeks' young flowers " with true- love showers," I have heard Ophelia sing. Digitized by VjOOQ iC POEMS OF THOUGHT AND FEELING, 171 I have been in battles, and I have seen Stones at the martyrs hurled, — Seen th' flames curled Round foreheads bold, and lips whence rolled The litanies of the world. But of all sad sights that ever I saw, The saddest under the sun, Is a little one, Whose poor pale face was despoiled of grace Ere yet its life begun. No glimpse of the good green Nature To gladden with sweet surprise Tlie staring eyes, That only have seen, close walls be- tween, A hand-breadth of the skies.
