The Divine Image (Songs of Innocence) Annotated

All pray in their distress,
And to these virtues of delight
Return their thankfulness.

Pity, a human face;
And Love, the human form divine;
And Peace, the human dress.

That prays in his distress,
Prays to the human form divine:
Love, Mercy, Pity, Peace.

And all must love the human form,
In heathen, Turk, or Jew.
Where Mercy, Love, and Pity dwell,
There God is dwelling too.
