THE SPIRIT'S WARFARE by WILLIAM BLAKE

Poet Analysis

First Line: TO FIND THE WESTERN PATH
Last Line: ASCENDS THE SKY
Subject(s): BIBLE; MYTHOLOGY;

To find the western path
Right thro the gates of Wrath
I urge my way
Sweet Mercy leads me on
With soft repentant moan
I see the break of day

The war of swords & spears
Melted by dewy tears
Exhales on high
The Sun is freed from fears
And with soft grateful tears
Ascends the sky
