Booth died blind and still by faith he trod,
Eyes still dazzled by the ways of God.

These lines present “Booth” as a figure whose physical sight fails at the end of life, yet whose spiritual orientation remains intact. The paradox—blindness paired with “dazzled” eyes—suggests that what overwhelms him is not the visible world but a perceived divine radiance. “By faith he trod” frames faith as a mode of navigation, implying steadfast moral or religious movement even when ordinary guidance is gone. The couplet thus praises perseverance and sanctity: bodily decline does not negate spiritual vision, and death is approached not in despair but in continued trust in God’s “ways.”
