Hear the VoiceWilliam Blake (17571827)
H
Who Present, Past, and Future, sees;
Whose ears have heard
The Holy Word
That walk’d among the ancient trees,
And weeping in the evening dew;
That might control
The starry pole,
And fallen fallen light renew!
Arise from out the dewy grass;
Night is worn,
And the morn
Rises from the slumberous mass.
Why wilt thou turn away?
The starry floor,
The watery shore,
Is given thee till the break of day.’
