Excerpt from Lost Vision Invocation. Oh come, my kind and gentle muse, Inspire my theme, my heart and brain, And bear me on thy glowing wings Through varied scenes of life again. E'en back to childhood's rosy hours, When joyous sunbeams cheered my way, And I was wont, with merry glee, To play at will the livelong day, Or first instruction's dawning beam Its mystic rays around me shed, Or fairy tales of fancy bright Their magic scenes before me spread. How fast they fled, those golden years Of cloudless sunshine, mirth and bloom, Ere pain and care their shadows cast To shroud my heart in grief and gloom. Ah! well aday, on pensive wing Came sorrow's dark and dreary night, And deep affliction's ruthless hand Bereft mine eyes of vision bright. Oh, total loss, so grave, so sad, Deprived of sight! Oh, who can bear A life barred out from gleam of light, Entombed with grief and blank despair? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
