After William Blake:(I Saw The Crystal Apple Fall)

I saw the crystal apple fall
into a well that none could dredge
and I was standing on the edge

and saw it bob the clouds among
and felt so much
but was not heard

because the crystal of the Word
was split by ranks of armies strong
who thought the Word belonged to them

and broke the Crystal heart in two
that fashioned All for me and you.
