\nBIGGER<\/a>
\n NIGHT<\/p>\n

by: William Blake (1757-1827)<\/p>\n

The sun descending in the west,
\n The evening star does shine;
\n The birds are silent in their nest.
\n And I must seek for mine.
\n The moon, like a flower
\n In heaven\u2019s high bower,
\n With silent delight
\n Sits and smiles on the night.<\/p>\n

Farewell, green fields and happy grove,
\n Where flocks have took delight:
\n Where lambs have nibbled, silent move
\n The feet of angels bright;
\n Unseen they pour blessing
\n And joy without ceasing
\n On each bud and blossom,
\n On each sleeping bosom.<\/p>\n

They look in every thoughtless nest
\n Where birds are cover\u2019d warm;
\n They visit caves of every beast,
\n to keep them all from harm:
\n If they see any weeping
\n That should have been sleeping,
\n They pour sleep on their head,
\n And sit down by their bed.<\/p>\n

When wolves and tigers howl for prey,
\n They pitying stand and weep,
\n Seeking to drive their thirst away
\n And keep them from the sheep.
\n But, if they rush dreadful,
\n The angels, most heedful,
\n Receive each mild spirit,
\n New worlds to inherit.<\/p>\n

And there the lion\u2019s ruddy eyes
\n Shall flow with tears of gold:
\n And pitying the tender cries,
\n And walking round the fold:
\n Saying, \u2018Wrath by His meekness,
\n And, by His health, sickness,
\n Are driven away
\n From our immortal day.<\/p>\n

\u2018And now beside thee, bleating lamb,
\n I can lie down and sleep,
\n Or think on Him who bore thy name,
\n Graze after thee, and weep.
\n For, wash\u2019d in life\u2019s river,
\n My bright mane for ever
\n Shall shine like the gold
\n As I guard o\u2019er the fold.\u2019<\/p>\n
