Songs and Proverbs of William Blake is a song cycle composed by Benjamin Britten (1913–76) in 1965 for baritone voice and piano and published as his Op. 74. The published score states that the words were "selected by Peter Pears " from Proverbs of Hell , Auguries of Innocence and Songs of Experience by William Blake (1757–1827).
The collection contains poems of various dates, with almost a third of its 94 poems having been published before the book's publication.
