First Line: Milton, struck blind, saw
Last Line: And the echoes of your song.
Subject(s): Keller, Helen (1880-1968); Poetry & Poets; Singing & Singers


Milton, struck blind, saw ...
And Beethoven, in his deafness, heard ...
Vision and music dawn and roll only
In sightless skies,
On soundless seas ...

You, Helen Keller, have beheld,
You have heard ...
And we who know you, catch the moonlight of your sunlight
And the echoes of your song.
