I.  LYRICS FROM WILLIAM BLAKE




22

DAYBREAK.




TO find the western path.,
      Right through the gates of wrath
                      I urge my way;
Sweet morning leads me on;
With soft repentant moan
             I see the break of day.


The war of swords and spears,
Melted by dewy tears,
             Exhales on high;
The sun is freed from fears,
And with soft grateful tears
             Ascends the sky.
