IN BLINDESS by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: FOR ME HER LIFE TO CONSECRATE
Last Line: SUFFUSES MINE.
Subject(s): BLINDNESS; VISUALLY HANDICAPPED;
For me her life to consecrate,
My Lady Light
Within her shadowy convent gate
Is lost to sight.

I may not greet her; but a grace --
A gleam divine --
The rapture of her hidden face
Suffuses mine.
