William Blake Quotes

I Went To The Garden Of Love,
And Saw What I Never Had Seen:
A Chapel Was Built In The Midst,
Where I Used To Play On The Green.

And The Gates Of This Chapel Were Shut,
And 'Thou Shalt Not' Writ Over The Door;
So I Turn'd To The Garden Of Love,
That So Many Sweet Flowers Bore.

And I Saw It Was Filled With Graves,
And Tomb-stones Where Flowers Should Be:
And Priests In Black Gowns, Were Walking Their Rounds,
And Binding With Briars, My Joys & Desires.

- The Garden Of Love
