John Tavener composed "Eternity's Sunrise" to poetry by William Blake. Title and text of that poem?

Question

The album "Eternity's Sunrise" is one that I have been listening to for years. Its title track was recently used in the movie "Children Of Men." This is a musical setting for an English poem by William Blake, but the tessitura of the melody is so high that the text is essentially indistinguishable. I have never bothered to look for the poetry before, but now having seen the movie, I feel compelled to know the poetry as well as the music. If anyone knows the title or even the text of the poem that is used in the song "Eternity's Sunrise," or any of the other poems that are on the same album, I would appreciate knowing.

Answer 1

Here are the three:

Eternity

He who bends to himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity's sunrise.

The Tiger

Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder and what art
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And, when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand and what dread feet?

What the hammer? What the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? What dread grasp?
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears,
And water'd heaven with their tears,
Did He smile His work to see?
Did He who made the lamb make thee?

Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

Lamb, The
William Blake
Little Lamb, who made thee?
Dost thou know who made thee?
Gave thee life, and bid thee feed,
By the stream and o'er the mead;
Gave thee clothing of delight,
Softest clothing, woolly, bright;
Gave thee such a tender voice,
Making all the vales rejoice?
Little Lamb, who made thee?
Dost thou know who made thee?

Little Lamb, I'll tell thee,
Little Lamb, I'll tell thee.
He is called by thy name,
For He calls Himself a Lamb.
He is meek, and He is mild;
He became a little child.
I a child, and thou a lamb,
We are called by His name.
Little Lamb, God bless thee!
Little Lamb, God bless thee!

The programme will include three works by Tavener which set poems by Blake, The Lamb, The Tyger and Eternity's Sunrise
