Excerpt from Musings of a Blind and Partially Deaf Girl Musings. The Authoress's Petition. Alas! I am a mournful orphan one, Without a home or private means whereon To lean secure from want in future years, When bound by age or by misfortune's tears. Affliction too, of more than common weight, Hath seized my form and rendered dark my state, Brought partial silence to my outward ear, Placing obstructions in my pathway here, Yet I desire to bear above these woes, And look to Him who every trial knows, To trust His love to make a way for me, Whereby I may glide safely o'er life's sea. I murmur not at being doomed to pass As one belonging to the smaller class, I murmur not at work of hand or mind, While struggling on, some self-support to find. Toil and fatigue are lighter far to bear Than envied favors from another's share, Need to depend on charity is pain To those who over plenty once did reign. Then, Lord, since Thou beholdest how I stand, A guest dependent on the stranger's hand, Since Thou in love and might art pleased to spare My mental powers to be applied with care, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
