Can lovers blind to their beloved’s face br With eyes that cannot see still love as deep br As those with eyes that see the human race br Yet close them when they love, as if asleep? br br Can lovers blind love those they’ve never seen br But voices heard and other senses known br Yet feel in darkness as in light, serene, br That passion in their blindness love had grown? br br Can lovers blind still see what those with sight br Too blind to see within their lover’s heart br Refuse to see, that love in dark or light br Cannot hold lovers true to love apart? br br Blind lovers love more so than lovers do br Who swear seen blindly that their love is true.
