A man born blind received his sight	A
By a painful operation	B
And these are things he saw in the light	A
Of an infant observation	B
	-
He saw a merchant good and wise	C
And greatly too respected	D
Who looked to those imperfect eyes	C
Like a swindler undetected	D
	-
He saw a patriot address	E
A noisy public meeting	F
And said 'Why that's a calf I guess	E
That for the teat is bleating '	-
	-
A doctor stood beside a bed	G
And shook his summit sadly	H
'O see that foul assassin ' said	G
The man who saw so badly	H
	-
He saw a lawyer pleading for	I
A thief whom they'd been jailing	F
And said 'That's an accomplice or	I
My sight again is failing '	-
	-
Upon the Bench a Justice sat	J
With nothing to restrain him	K
''Tis strange ' said the observer 'that	J
They ventured to unchain him '	-
	-
With theologic works supplied	J
He saw a solemn preacher	L
'A burglar with his kit ' he cried	J
'To rob a fellow creature '	-
	-
A bluff old farmer next he saw	M
Sell produce in a village	N
And said 'What what is there no law	M
To punish men for pillage '	-
	-
A dame tall fair and stately passed	J
Who many charms united	J
He thanked his stars his lot was cast	J
Where sepulchers were whited	J
	-
He saw a soldier stiff and stern	O
'Full of strange oaths' and toddy	J
But was unable to discern	O
A wound upon his body	J
	-
Ten square leagues of rolling ground	J
To one great man belonging	F
Looked like one little grassy mound	J
With worms beneath it thronging	F
	-
A palace's well carven stones	P
Where Dives dwelt contented	J
Seemed built throughout of human bones	P
With human blood cemented	J
	-
He watched the yellow shining thread	J
A silk worm was a spinning	F
'That creature's coining gold ' he said	J
'To pay some girl for sinning '	-
	-
His eyes were so untrained and dim	K
All politics religions	Q
Arts sciences appeared to him	K
But modes of plucking pigeons	Q
	-
And so he drew his final breath	R
And thought he saw with sorrow	S
Some persons weeping for his death	R
Who'd be all smiles to morrow	S
