from Auguries of Innocence )
To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.
A Robin Redbreast in a Cage
Puts all Heaven in a Rage.
A Dove house fill’d with Doves and Pigeons
Shudders Hell thro’ all its Regions.
A truth that’s told with bad intent
Beats all the lies you can invent.
