this is a lovely poem.   if you hadn't said so, i would not have thought it 
had anything to do with blindness.   it's more universal.

> >     Oh Autumn, sweet sad Autumn queen,
> >       With robe of golden brown,
> >     Our hearts are bowed with grief and pain,
> >       As each leaf flutters down.
> >
> >     In every drooping flow'ret,
> >       In every leafless tree,
> >     By warbling birds deserted,
> >       We find some trace of thee.

> >     Thou'rt lovely, oh, so lovely,
> >       And yet how brief thy stay,
> >     Why is it all things beautiful
> >       Must droop and fade away?
> >
> >     All, all thy gorgeous painted leaves,
> >       With colors bright and gay,
> >     Were touched by nature's magic brush,
> >       Then rudely cast away.
> >
> >     And thus our dearest hopes are crushed,
> >       By fate's relentless will,
> >     Like withered leaves they pass away--
> >       But peace, sad heart, be still.
> >
> >     Thou too must breast the adverse wind,
> >       Be wildly tempest-tossed,
> >     Perhaps when thou art hushed in death,
> >       Thou'lt meet the loved and lost.
> >
> >     But for this sweetly, solemn thought
> >       That thrills us with delight,
> >     This life, so marred by grief and pain,
> >       Could never seem so bright.
> >
> >     Then welcome, sweet, sad Autumn days,
> >       Though brief the hallowed reign,
> >     For every smile must have its tear,
> >       And every joy its pain.
