William Blake’s “To Nobodaddy” (A Poem from His Notebook)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why art thou silent & invisible

Father of Jealousy

Why dost thou hide thyself in clouds

From every searching Eye

 

Why darkness & obscurity

In all thy words & laws

That none dare eat the fruit but from

The wily serpents jaws

Or is it because Secrecy

gains females loud applause
