Found quote closes a generational gap

I found this in the back of 2 of my Grandmothers poetry books

He who bends to himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity's sunrise.

Blake


It did not appear in the actual print in either books so I am assuming is was a bit of a favouritee as she obviously took the time to write it out. What was she doing and thinking when she did this? I have read it several time and not sure I really understand all that it means
