8182 Israel Zangwill 1864-1926 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:8182
AUTHOR:Israel Zangwill (1864–1926)
QUOTATION:How full and rich a world
Theirs to inhabit is—
Sweet scent of grass and bloom,
Playmates’ glad symphony,
Cool touch of western wind,
Sunshine’s divine caress.


How should they know or feel
They are in darkness?


But, oh, the miracle!
If a Redeemer came,
Laid finger on their eyes—
One touch and what a world,
New-born in loveliness!
