Having read only the much-anthologized standards by Blake, I don't have a strong opinion on this poem's success as an imitation. My weak opinion is that it comes very close. The heavy allegory, the tight construction, the rather orphic tone all sound right. The only feature that doesn't sound like Blake -- to my ear -- is the comparatively fluid syntax; these are mostly rather natural sounding sentences, downright idiomatic, and so some of the prophetic weight of Blake's poetry doesn't come through.
