<P> Clever indeed is the stead That seeks to lead others on their knees . Where dos thou go in times of strife Surely not towards sounds of delight . The crow caws same as leaves fall As so too do people ever wonder . A dollar to a man, a sheet for the eyes A sheet is set ablaze by power and knowledge . To know is the key To unlock the forever mysterious glee The fog creepith in sight, Just as readily as moonlight . The cries of change are no longer nigh As we close ours eyes to a slow demise . Tomorrow is the new day Same as a blind man choosing another way . Together there is strength as sticks in a bunch Steadfast we hold, to hold up another day . At last we see it the end is in sight Do not dare to shut off your own light . When the goal has been reached The poor man and rich man together may stand . Forever the head of the beggar held high As all of mankind stand as one and equals . </P> <P> Lines from the poem were set to music in 1965 by Benjamin Britten as part of his song cycle Songs and Proverbs of William Blake . </P> <P> Three lines of the poem were included in the 1967 song "End of the Night" by Jim Morrison and The Doors . </P> <P> The Agatha Christie novel Endless Night's title was inspired by this poem . Six lines of the poem were recited in a 1995 film, Dead Man . The lines were recited by the character named Nobody . </P>
