The Portable William Blake (68 page)
Read The Portable William Blake Online
Authors: William Blake
The Breath Divine went forth upon the morning hills. Albion mov’d
The Caterpillar on the Leaf
The Caverns of the Grave I’ve seen
The Chimney Sweeper
The Clod and the Pebble
The countless gold of a merry heart
The Crystal Cabinet
The daughters of the Seraphim led round their sunny flocks
The deep of winter came
The Divine Image
The Door of Death is made of Gold
The Ecchoing Green
The Errors of a Wise Man make your Rule
The fields from Islington to Marybone
The Fly
The Garden of Love
The Golden Net
The Good are attracted by Men’s perceptions
The Grey Monk
The Guardian Prince of Albion bums in his nightly tent
The harvest shall flourish in wintry weather
The Human Abstract
The inhabitants are sick to death: they labour to divide into Days
The Kings of Asia heard
The Lamb
The Land of Dreams
The Lilly
The Little Black Boy
The Little Boy Found
The Little Boy Lost
The little boy lost in the lonely fen
The Little Girl Found
The Little Girl Lost
The Little Vagabond
The look of love alarms
The Maiden caught me in the Wild
The Male is a Furnace of beryll; the Female is a golden Loom
The Marriage Ring
The Mental Traveler
The modest Rose puts forth a thorn
The morning dawn’d. Urizen rose, & in his hand the Flail
The Mundane Shell’is a vast Concave Earth, an immense
The nameless shadowy female rose from out the breast of Orc
The nature of infinity is this: That every thing has its
The only Man that e’er I knew
The Question Answered
The Schoolboy
The shadowy Daughter of Urthona stood before red Orc
The Shepherd
The Sick Rose
The Smile
The Song of the Aged Mother which shook the heavens with wrath
The Sons of Ozoth within the Optic Nerve stand fiery glowing
The Spectre is the Reasoning Power in Man, & when separated
The Spectre, like a hoar frost & a Mildew, rose over Albion
The Sun arises in the East
The sun descending in the west
The Sun does arise
The Sun has left his blackness & has found a fresher morning
The sword sung on the barren heath
The Tyger
The Vegetative Universe opens like a flower from the Earth’s center
The Villain at the Gallows tree
The Voice of the Ancient Bard
The Washerwoman’s Song
The Wild Flower’s Song
The wild winds weep
The Wine-press of Los is eastward of Golgonooza before the Seat
The Woes of Urizen shut up in the deep dens of Urthona
Thel’s Motto
Then Jesus appeared standing by Albion as the Good Shepherd
Then left the sons of Urizen the plow & harrow, the loom
Then Milton rose up from the heavens of Albion ardorous
There is a Smile of Love
These are the Idiot’s chiefest arts
These are the Sons of Los, & these the Labourers of the Vintage
These are the starry voids of night & the depths & caverns of earth
They know not why they love nor wherefore they sicken & die
This Song to the flower of Flaxman’s joy
Thou fair-hair’d angel of the evening
Thou hast a lap full of seed
Thou hearest the Nightingale begin the Song of Spring
Three Virgins at the break of day
Thy Friendship oft has made my heart to ake
To a lovely mirtle bound
To Autumn
To English Connoisseurs
To find the Western path
To F[laxman]
To God
To H[ayley]
To John Flaxman
To Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love
To Morning
To Mrs. Anna Flaxman
To my Friend Butts I write
To My Mirtle
To Nobodaddy
To see a World in a Grain of Sand
To Spring
To Summer
To the Evening Star
To the Muses
To Tirzah
To Venetian Artists
To Winter
Trembling & strucken by the Universal stroke, the trees unroot
Trembling I sit day and night, my friends are astonish’ d at me
Truly, My Satan, thou art but a Dunce
’Twas on a Holy Thursday, their innocent faces clean
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
Urizen rose from the bright Feast like a star thro’ the evening sky
Urizen said: “I have Erred, & my Error remains with me
Venetian, all thy Colouring is no more
We are not Individuals but States, Combinations of Individuals
What is a Wife & what is a Harlot? What is a Church & What
What is it men in women do require?
Whate’er is Born of Mortal Birth
Whate’er is done to her she cannot know
When a Man has married a Wife, he finds out whether
When early morn walks forth in sober grey
When I see a Rubens, Rembrandt, Correggio
When my mother died I was very young
When Nations grow Old, The Arts grow Cold
When Sir Joshua Reynolds died
When the green woods laugh with the voice of joy
When the voices of children are heard on the green
(Songs of Innocence)
(Songs of Innocence)
When the voices of children are heard on the green (
Songs of Experience)
Songs of Experience)
Whether on Ida’s shady brow
Which are beauties sweetest dress?
Why art thou silent & invisible
Why of the sheep do you not learn peace
Why should I be bound to thee
Why should I care for the men of Thames
Why was Cupid a Boy
Wife of the Friend of those I most revere
William Bond
William Cowper,
Esqre
Esqre
With happiness stretch’d across the hills
With trembling horror pale, aghast the Children of Man
You don’t believe—I won’t attempt to make ye
You must agree that Rubens was a Fool
You say reserve & modesty he has
You say their Pictures well Painted be
Youth of delight, come hither
