Poem On Anothers Sorrow

Can I see anothers woe, And not be in sorrow too? Can I see anothers grief, And not seekfor kind relief?

And can he who smiles on all Hear the wren with sorrows small, Hear the small birds griefand care, Hear the woes that infants bear,

Think not thou canst sigh a sigh And thy maker is not by; Think not thou canst weep a tear And thy maker is not near.

Can I see a falling tear, And notfeel my sorrows share? Can a father see his child Weep, nor be with sorrow fllld?

And not sit beside the nest, Pouring pity in their breast; And not sit the cradle near, Weeping tear on infants tear;...

O! he gives to us his joy That our griefhe may destroy; Till our griefisfled and gone He doth sit by us and moan.

William Blake
