TO HELEN KELLER by RUTH COMFORT MITCHELL

First Line: IF THESE MY RIMES RING TRUE TO YOU
Last Line: BEYOND OUR SHALLOW SIGHT.
Subject(s): KELLER, HELEN (1880-1968); RHYME; SINGING & SINGERS;

If these my rimes ring true to you,
Merry or sweet or strong,
I shall be happy; you who hear
Eternal, silent song.

If these my pictures bring to you
One instant of delight,
I shall be grateful; you who see
Beyond our shallow sight.
