Description
Excerpt from Thrilling Incidents in the Life and Experience of John F. Bahler (Blindman): With Poems by His Wife; Also Fifty Hints on Health, and Forty Recipes of Great Value
Just close your eyes, reader, and shut out the light, Then think for a moment, were day turned to night, How sad and how gloomy this earth would become; It is burdensome, even, when clouds veil the sun.
But, oh, were it always one long, dark night here, And no sunny faces could beam in to cheer; No eyes meet yours smiling, and thus speak regard, This earth would grow dreary, life''s burdens seem hard.
But reader, kind reader, there''s sunlight in Heaven, The blind eyes there open, immortal sight given. God''s mercies are varied, he deals in kind love, And portions us sorrows to win us above.
