SONG OF A BLIND PILGRIM AT THE GATE OF HEAVEN, by                    
First Line: Blind though I be I have not missed the road
Last Line: With words of loving-kindness urged me on.
Subject(s): Heaven; Paradise


Blind though I be I have not missed the road,
Nor have I stumbled with misfortune's load;

While others following the sun by day,
And stars by night, have somehow lost the way.

And there are those, more strong than I to bear
The weight of weariness, have fallen there.

Lord I thank Thee, both for the inner light
Which through the darkness guided me aright,

And for the voice which, when my strength was gone,
With words of loving-kindness urged me on.
