Auguries of Innocence & Eternity
(mindfulness remix)

Joy & Woe are woven fine
A clothing for the soul divine
For under every grief and pine
Runs a joy with silken twine

He who shuns a visiting sorrow
Invites three to call tomorrow
But he who welcomes Sorrow on his step
Lives for ever without regret

She who binds to herself a joy
Does the wingèd Life destroy
But she who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity’s sun rise

It is right it should be so
For we were made for Joy & Woe
And when this we rightly know
Thro’ the World we safely go
