| This poem was written and engraved in c. 1791-94 and possibly intended for Songs of Experience; however, it was not included in the cycle. |
Cruelty has a human heart,
And Jealousy a human face;
Terror the human form divine,
And Secrecy the human dress.
The human dress is forged iron,
The human form a fiery forge,
The human face a furnace sealed,
The human heart its hungry gorge.
