Lyrics
Earths Answer
(William Blake)
Earth raised up her head
From the darkness dread and drear
Her light fled, stony dread
And her locks covered with grey despair
Prison’d on watery shore
Starry jealousy does keep my den
Cold and hoar, weeping o’er
I hear the father of the ancient men
Selfish father of men
Cruel, jealous, selfish fear
Can delight, chain’d in night
The virgins of youth and morning bear?
Does spring hide its joy
When buds and blossoms grow?
Does the sower sow by night
Or the ploughman in darkness plough?
Break this heavy chain
That does freeze my bones around
Selfish! Vain!
Eternal bane!
That free love with bondage bound
