WILLIAM BLAKE.

He came to the desert of London town  Grey miles long; He wandered up and he wandered down,  Singing a quiet song. He came to the desert of London town,  Mirk miles broad; He wandered up and he wandered down.  Ever alone with God. There were thousands and thousands of human kind  In this desert of brick and stone: But some were deaf and some were blind,  And he was there alone. At length the good hour came; he died  As he had lived, alone: He was not missed from the desert wide,  Perhaps he was found at the Throne. 1866.
