    On Another’s Sorrow
    William Blake

    Can I see another’s woe,
    And not be in sorrow too.
    Can I see another’s grief,
    And not seek for kind relief.

    Can I see a falling tear,
    And not feel my sorrow’s share,
    Can a father see his child,
    Weep, nor be with sorrow fill’d.

    Can a mother sit and hear
    An infant groan an infant fear
    No no never can it be.
    Never never can it be.

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

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

    And not sit both night & day,
    Wiping all our tears away.
    O! no never can it be.
    Never never can it be.

    He doth give his joy to all.
    He becomes an infant small.
    He becomes a man of woe
    He doth feel the sorrow too.

    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.

    O! he gives to us his joy
    That our grief he may destroy
    Till our grief is fled & gone
    He doth sit by us and moan.
