"On His Blindness" is an autobiographical poem that Milton wrote about losing his sight at a relatively young age. Writing much of his poetry about religion and Christian theology, Milton felt that he was in the service of God. He is frustrated by losing his sight as anyone would be. He is particularly frustrated because he has lost his sight while working in the service of God.
When he discusses losing "light," he refers to the loss of his sight and the potential loss of his talent (his intellect and writing). Referring to a Biblical passage, Matthew 25:14-30, the speaker of this poem notes that it is a sin not to use your God-given ability, "that one talent which is death to hide"
