Songs of Experience: Introduction
Hear the voice of the Bard,Who present, past, and future, sees;Whose ears have heardThe Holy WordThat walked among the ancient tree;
Calling the lapsed soul,And weeping in the evening dew;That might controlThe starry pole,And fallen, fallen light renew!
"O Earth, O Earth, return!Arise from out the dewy grass!Night is worn,And the mornRises from the slumbrous mass.
"Turn away no more;Why wilt thou turn away?The starry floor,The watery shore,Are given thee till the break of day."
