The Divine Image

to mercy, pity, peace and love
all pray in their distress;
and to these virtues of delight
return their thankfullness.

for mercy, pity, peace and love
is god, our father dear;
and mercy, pity, peace and love
is man, his child and care.

for mercy has a human heart
pity, a human face,
and love, a human form divine
and peace, the human dress.

then every man, of every clime,
that prays in his distress
prays to the human form divine,
love, mercy, pity and peace.

and all must love the human form,
in heathen, turk, or jew;
where mercy, love and pity dwell,
there God is dwelling too.

"William Blake (1757-1827)" on sound and sense
