William Blake
The Complete Poetry & Prose of William Blake
by William Blake
Holy Thursday (Experience)
Is this a holy thing to see.
In a rich and fruitful land.
Babes reduced to misery.
Fed with cold and usurous hand?
Is that trembling cry a song?
Can it be a song of joy?
And so many children poor?
It is a land of poverty!
And their sun does never shine.
And their fields are bleak & bare.
And their ways are fillβd with thorns
It is eternal winter there.
For where-eβer the sun does shine.
And where-eβer the rain does fall:
Babe can never hunger there,
Nor poverty the mind appall.
