William Blake Quotes on Compassion

5 quotes

  1. And there the lion's ruddy eyes Shall flow with tears of gold, And pitying the tender cries, And walking round the fold, Saying: 'Wrath by his meekness, And by his health, sickness, Is driven away From our immortal day.'

  2. Can I see another's woe, And not be in sorrow too? Can I see another's grief, And not seek for kind relief?

  3. Pity would be no more If we did not make somebody Poor; And Mercy no more could be If all were as happy as we.

  4. Terror in the house does roar, But Pity stands before the door.

  5. He who shall hurt the little wren Shall never bebeloved by men.
