The Blind Boy

​The Blind Boy
 
O say, what is that thing called light,
     Which I can ne’er enjoy?
What is the blessing of the sight?
     O tell your poor blind boy!
 
You talk of wondrous things you see,
     You say the sun shines bright;
I feel him warm, but how can he
     Then make it day or night?
 
My day or night myself I make
     Whene’er I sleep or play;
And could I ever keep awake
     With me ’twere always day.
 
With heavy sighs I often hear
     You mourn my hapless woe;
But sure with patience I may bear
     A loss I ne’er know.
 
Then let not what I cannot have
     My cheer of mind destroy;
Whilst thus I sing, I am a king,
     Although a poor blind boy.
 
by Colley Cibber
 
Colley Cibber was born on 6 November 1671 in Bloomsbury, London, England. He became an actor, a playwright, a poet, and a theater manager. His autobiography is, “An Apology for the Life of Colley Cibber, Comedian” (1740). Colley Cibber passed on at 86 years of age on 11 December 1757 in Berkeley Square, London, England.
