Poet Analysis

First Line: AGAIN I WAKE AND CRY FOR LIGHT!
Last Line: SO BRIGHT THESE GOLDEN DAYS!
Subject(s): BLINDNESS; SLEEP; VISUALLY HANDICAPPED;

Again I wake and cry for light!
My golden day has gone,And, looking through my window now,
I see the stars and moon.

Which shall I sacrifice to sleep,
With both beyond my praise?
So lovely are these silvery nights,
So bright these golden days!
