Works on william blake, i was looking for a king of "Tom Waits sigin' on a roots reggae" style

lyrics

When early morn walks forth in sober grey,
then to my black eyed maid i haste away
When evening sits beneath her dusky bower
and gently sights away the silent hour...
The village bell alarms,
away i go
and the vail darkens at my pensive woe.
To that sweet village where my black eyed maid
does drop a tear beneath the silent shade
I turn my eyes and pensive as i go
curse my black stars and bless my pleasing woe.

Oft when the summer sleeps among the trees,
whispering faint murmurs to the scanty breeze,
I walk the village around
if at her side a youth doth walks in stolen joy and pride !
I curse my stars in bitter grief and woe
that made my love so high and me so low
Oh
Shall she ever prove false,
his limbs I'd tear
and throw all the pity in the burning air !
I'd curse bright fortune for my mixed lot
then I'd die in peace and be forgot...
