Silent, Silent Night

    By William Blake



    Silent, silent night,
    Quench the holy light
    Of thy torches bright;

    For possessed of Day
    Thousand spirits stray
    That sweet joys betray.

    Why should joys be sweet
    Used with deceit,
    Nor with sorrows meet?

    But an honest joy
    Does itself destroy
    For a harlot coy.
