His eyes are dim;
And so for him,
They thought in London, 'twas enough
To bind his book in blind-man's buff.

I don't doubt at all that he gave this piece this name. His humor is extremely subtle at times, it's true, but if you look, wou see that he is making a pun in the last sentence, substituting the game of "blind-man's bluff" with the color "buff" for the cover of his "Late Volume".

I am thinking that Tabb didn't come up with the title but someone else who found this by Tabb on one of his own volumes.
I don't really care too much for this piece, it doesn't really seem to have a relevance that is at hand and thus nothing to view it from, unless it's a tragedy of some kind, but it's supposedly supposed to be humorous.
I feel this is a piece in attribution of himself, he was going blind a better part of his life and near and at the end, so I have read, he was blind, so I feel that's a play on that. It's sort of a Poor Man's humor - a jest upon himself at his blindness.
