Subject(s): Blindness; Deafness; Eyes; Keller, Helen (1880-1968); Soul; Visually Handicapped
I list with the ears of my soul to the world;
I hear the laughter, and the sobbing of grief;
I list with the ears of my soul to the world --
And they say I am deaf.
I look with the eyes of my soul to the world;
I see her struggling, unconquered, kind;
I look with the eyes of my soul to the world --
And they say I am blind.
