And we talked of the beautiful morning,

The scent of the grass and the flowers,

And he spoke like a man of refinement,

Like one to whom knowledge was power,

Of the glory of God and His wonders,

And we talked for more than an hour.

I forgot that the speaker was sightless,

Or a mud hut his dwelling here.

Could it be he was just a blind beggar?

Was a greater One standing near?
