Every tear from every eye Becomes a babe in eternity.

More from William Blake

  1. Man was made for joy and woe, And when this we rightly know Through the world we safely go.
  2. He who shall teach the child to doubt The rotting grave shall ne'er get out.
  3. A truth that's told with bad intent Beats all the lies you can invent.
  4. The strongest poison ever known Came from Caesar's laurel crown.
  5. He who shall hurt the little wren Shall never bebeloved by men.
  6. He who doubts from what he sees Will ne'er believe, do what you please. If the sun and moon should doubt They'd immediately go out.
  7. A dog starved at his master's gate Predicts the ruin of the state.
  8. The harlot's cry from street to street Shall weave old England's winding sheet.
