The Smile -William Blake-

The Smile

-William Blake-

There is a Smile of Love 

And there is a Smile of Deceit 

And there is a Smile of Smiles 

In which these two Smiles meet 

And there is a Frown of Hate 

And there is a Frown of disdain 

And there is a Frown of Frowns 

Which you strive to forget in vain 

For it sticks in the Hearts deep Core 

And it sticks in the deep Back bone 

And no Smile that ever was smild 

But only one Smile alone 

That betwixt the Cradle & Grave 

It only once Smild can be 

But when it once is Smild 

Theres an end to all Misery .....
