/ I had not found the road too short, / As once I had in days of youth, / In that old forest of long ruth, / Where my young knighthood broke its heart, / Ere love and it had come to part, / And lies made mockery of truth. / I had not found the road too short.
/ A blind man, by the nightmare way, / Had set me right when I was wrong. -- / I had been blind my whole life long -- / What wonder then that on this day / The blind should show me how astray / My strength had gone, my heart once strong. / A blind man pointed me the way.
