I keep one picture in my heart

I keep one picture in my heart,
To be of life a cherished part,--
A picture waiting yet its canvas
From master hand of divinest art:

A wan blind man and Christ sun-brown,
Hand in His hand, are walking down
The throngèd street into the open
Beyond the walls of Bethsaida town.

Light of the world with night in kiss!
Pathetic scene--a scene of bliss!
The rayless eyes are touched to healing!
Was ever picture so sweet as this?
