In troubled times we need comfort. "The Blessing" was conceived in a moment of despondency, to invoke relief from inner torment via the ecstasy of the Muse, the energy of inspiration and comfort and the creator of art. This song has been a favorite choice by singers among many of Gorton's compositions.

Lyrics:
Fairest of Muse the blessing, waken to life the sleeping. Silence, the friend of peace, speaks when we all time release. Gentle breeze of breathing joy, flowing sense without alloy, fill my soul with knowing all: thoughts too deep, too sweet for words! Glorious life! Sing yourself to dreams awake and from my tortured mind its burdens take. Touch me, fill me, let me feel your light on my skin, and make me know why you this vessel choose!
--William Gorton
