| William Blake (1757–1827). The Poetical Works. 1908. | | | | Selections from ‘Jerusalem’ | | Introduction |
| | (Jerusalem, f. 4, ll. 3–8.)
THIS 1 theme calls me in sleep night after night, and ev’ry morn | |
| Awakes me at sunrise; then I see the Saviour over me | |
| Spreading His beams of love, and dictating the words of this mild song: | |
| ‘Awake! Awake! O sleeper of the Land of Shadows, wake! expand! | |
| I am in you, and you in Me, mutual in Love Divine; | 5 |
| Fibres of love from man to man thro’ Albion’s pleasant land.’ | |
| | Note 1. Introd.] The opening lines of Chap. I, which is headed:| ‘Of the Sleep of Ulro, and of the passage through | | Eternal Death, and of the awaking to Eternal Life.’ |
