CHRISTIAN GRAY,
BLIND FROM HER INFANCY,
In Milton, Parish of Aberdalgie, Perthshire.
Hail, holy light! offspring of heaven first born,— * * * * * * * * Thee I revisit safe, And feel thy sovereign vital lamp; but thou Revisit’st not these eyes, that roll in vain To find thy piercing ray, and find no dawn; * * * Yet not the more Cease I to wander where the muses haunt— Milton’s Paradise Lost,—Book III.
