     SONGS OF EXPERIENCE by WILLIAM BLAKE
     
     TO TERZAH
     
     Whate'er is born of mortal birth
     Must be consumed with the earth,
     To rise from generation free:
     Then what have I to do with thee?
     The sexes sprang from shame and pride,
     Blown in the morn, in evening died;
     But mercy changed death into sleep;
     The sexes rose to work and weep.
     
     Thou, mother of my mortal part,
     With cruelty didst mould my heart,
     And with false self-deceiving tears
     Didst bind my nostrils, eyes, and ears,
     
     Didst close my tongue in senseless clay,
     And me to mortal life betray.
     The death of Jesus set me free:
     Then what have I to do with thee?
