Calling the lapséd soul...

William Blake

Calling the lapséd soul, And weeping in the evening dew; That might control The starry pole,

And fallen, fallen light renew! ‘ O Earth, O Earth, return! Arise from out the dewy grass! Night is worn,

And the morn Rises from the slumbrous mass. ‘ Turn away no more; Why wilt thou turn away?

The starry floor, The watery shore, Is given thee till the break of day.’
