<t /><p class="poetry">&#8220;Listen, you deaf ones!p> <p class="poetry">Take notice,<n id="1" /> you blind ones!p>

<p class="poetry">Then blind eyes will open,p> <p class="poetry">deaf ears will hear.p>

<t /><p class="poetry">Bring out the people who are blind, even though they have eyes,p> <p class="poetry">those who are deaf, even though they have ears!p>

<p class="poetry">to open blind eyes,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">to release prisoners<n id="2" /> from dungeons,p> <p class="poetry">those who live in darkness from prisons.p>
