Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDE FFGGHHIJ KLMMNNFF OO| Two blind men met Said one This earth | A |
| Has been a blackout from my birth | A |
| Through darkness I have groped my way | B |
| Forlorn unknowing night from day | B |
| But you though War destroyed your sight | C |
| Still have your memories of Light | C |
| And to allay your present pain | D |
| Can live your golden youth again | E |
| - | |
| Then said the second Aye it's true | F |
| It must seem magical to you | F |
| To know the shape of things that are | G |
| A women's lips a rose a star | G |
| But therein lies the hell of it | H |
| Better my eyes had never lit | H |
| to love of bluebells in a wood | I |
| Or daffodils in dancing mood | J |
| - | |
| You do not know what you have lost | K |
| But I alas can count the cost | L |
| Than memories that goad and gall | M |
| Far better not to see at all | M |
| And as for love you know it not | N |
| For pity is our sorry lot | N |
| So there you see my point of view | F |
| 'Tis I my friend who envy you | F |
| - | |
| And which was right still puzzles me | O |
| Perhaps one should be blind to see | O |
