from America: A Prophecy

William Blake

The stern Bard ceas’d, asham’d of his own song; enrag’d he swung

His harp aloft sounding, then dash’d its shining frame against

A ruin’d pillar in glittring fragments; silent he turn’d away,

And wander’d down the vales of Kent in sick & drear lamentings.

I thought I'd just let Blake do the talking. He's pretty good at it, even when he's ambiguous.
