In heathen, turk, or jew;
Where Mercy, Love, & Pity dwell There God is dwelling too.

Or wilt thou go ask the Mole?
Can Wisdom be put in a silver rod?
Or Love in a golden bowl?

William Blake

Pity, a human face,
And Love, the human form divine,
And Peace, the human dress.

Nor for itself hath any care,
But for another gives its ease,
And builds a heaven in hell's despair.

O Rose thou art sick.
The invisible worm,
That flies in the night
In the howling storm: Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy:
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.

William Blake

How sweet I roamed from field to field,
And tasted all the summer's pride,
Till I the prince of love beheld,
Who in the sunny beams did glide!
