William Blake - I Saw a ChapelWilliam Blake - I Saw a Chapel
Work rating: Medium


I saw a chapel all of gold     That none did dare to enter in,     And many weeping stood without,     Weeping, mourning, worshipping.     I saw a serpent rise between     The white pillars of the door,     And he forc`d and forc`d and forc`d,     Down the golden hinges tore.     And along the pavement sweet,    Set with pearls and rubies bright,    All his slimy length he drew    Till upon the altar white    Vomiting his poison out    On the bread and on the wine.    So I turn`d into a sty    And laid me down among the swine.
