Text of the Poem | Earth's Answer By William Blake | Eureka Study Aids

1. Earth rais'd up her head, 
2. From the darkness dread & drear. 
3. Her light fled: 
4. Stony dread!
5. And her locks cover'd with grey despair. 

6. Prison'd on watry shore
7. Starry Jealousy does keep my den
8. Cold and hoar
9. Weeping o'er
10. I hear the Father of the ancient men

11. Selfish father of men 
12. Cruel, jealous, selfish fear
13. Can delight
14. Chain'd in night
15. The virgins of youth and morning bear. 

16. Does spring hide its joy
17. When buds and bloosoms grow? 
18. Does the sower? 
19. Sow by night? 
20. Or the plowman in darkness plow? 

21. Break this heavy chain, 
22. That does freeze my bones around
23. Selfish! vain! 
24. Eternal bane! 
25. The free Love with bondage bound.
