Journey to the End of the Night
Although the songwriting credit was given to all four members of the Doors, the lyrics were written by lead singer Jim Morrison. Its title is derived from the 1932 French novel "Journey to the End of the Night" by Louis-Ferdinand Celine. The lines "Some are born to sweet delight; some are born to endless night" are lifted from a William Blake poem Auguries of Innocence, written in 1803 and published in 1863.
