Poetry is a good source of inspiration for making music.

This is a first attempt to make music using William Blakes poetry.

Feedback most welcome, there must be a lot of weak spots I ought to know!

Worth mentioning is that I used ATH-M50 headphones for the final mix - no other option in this hotel room I find myself in:-)

William Blake - The Angel

I dreamt a dream! What can it mean?

And that I was a maiden Queen
Guarded by an Angel mild:
Witless woe was ne’er beguiled!

And I wept both night and day,
And he wiped my tears away;
And I wept both day and night,
And hid from him my heart’s delight.

So he took his wings, and fled;
Then the morn blushed rosy red.
I dried my tears, and armed my fears
With ten thousand shields and spears.

Soon my Angel came again;
I was armed, he came in vain;
For the time of youth was fled,
And grey hairs were on my head.
