1. When a newborn is born blind, you find him
Your zeal guides better than the keen-sighted and more resolute

2. I was born blind, yet brilliance comes from blindness
I came wondrous in thought, a fortress for knowledge

3. The light of the eye faded for the heart to trespass
With a heart that, when people squander, accumulates

4. And poetry like the meadow’s light whose parts
I joined with words when poetry saddens, it flows smoother
