Their living do you wish that they should earn,

Instead of crying "Pity the poor Blind?"

Then know there's not a charitable Dun,

Subscription seeking at your gate who knocks,

That more deserves your bounty than the one

Who for the Blind requests a Christmas Box.

At Oxford Street's two-hundred-and-tenth door

Inquire within about the Blind Man's Friend.

Or send your guinea, if you like, or more;

As many more as you can spare to send.
