Auguries of Innocence & Eternity (mindfulness remix)
with deepest gratitude to William Blake
Joy & Woe are woven fine
A clothing for the soul divine
For under every grief and pine
Runs a joy with silken twine
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
He who shuns a passing sorrow
Invites three to call tomorrow
But he who greets Sorrow on his step
Lives a life without regret
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
