Portrait of William Blake William Blake Notebook c.1800-1803 10. The Birds

Each day I mourn along the wood,
And night hath heard my sorrows loud.
She.⁠Dost thou truly long for me?
And am I thus sweet to thee?
Sorrow now is at an End,
O my lover & my Friend!
He.⁠Come! on wings of joy we'll fly
To where my Bower is hung on high!
Come, & make thy calm retreat
Among green leaves and blossoms sweet!
