TESTO DEL LIED

"Every Night and every Morn"
di William Blake (1757-1827)

Every Night & every Morn
Some to Misery are Born.
Every Night & every Morn
Some are Born to sweet delight.
Some are Born to sweet delight,
Some are Born to Endless Night.
We are led to Believe a Lie
When we see not Thro' the Eye,
Which was Born in a Night, to perish in a Night,
When the Soul Slept in Beams of Light.
God Appears & God is Light
To those poor Souls who dwell in Night,
But does a Human Form Display
To those who Dwell in Realms of Day.
