Blind Bartimeus

Blind Bartimeus at the gates

Of Jericho in darkness waits;

He hears the crowd;--he hears a breath

Say, "It is Christ of Nazareth!"

And calls, in tones of agony,



The thronging multitudes increase;

Blind Bartimeus, hold thy peace!

But still, above the noisy crowd,

The beggar's cry is shrill and loud;

Until they say, "He calleth thee!"



Then saith the Christ, as silent stands

The crowd
