Sonnet 33

Love Sight Unseen

Can lovers blind to their beloved's face

As those with eyes that see the human race

Yet close them when they love, as if asleep?

Can lovers blind love those they've never seen

But voices heard and other senses known

Yet feel in darkness as in light, serene,

That passion in their blindness love had grown?

Can lovers blind still see what those with sight

Too blind to see within their lover's heart

Refuse to see, that love in dark or light

Cannot hold lovers true to love apart?

Blind lovers love more so than lovers do

Who swear seen blindly that their love is true
