  Text	ON HIS BLINDNESS / JOHN MILTON (1608-74) / When I consider how my light is spent, / Ere half my days, in this dark world and wide, / And that one talent which is death to hide, / Lodged with me useless, though my soul more bent / To serve therewith my maker, and present / My true account, lest he returning chide, / Doth God exact day-labour, light denied? / I fondly ask; but Patience to prevent / That murmur, soon replies, God doth not need / Either man's work or his own gifts, who best / Bear his mild yoke, they serve him best, his state / Is kingly. Thousands o'er land and ocean without rest: / They also serve who only stand and wait. / Poems on the Underground / The British Council. The British Library (Zweig Programme).
