William Blake Quote
Piping down the valleys wild Piping songs of pleasant glee On a cloud I saw a child. And he laughing said to me. Pipe a song about a Lamb; So I piped with merry chear, Piper pipe that song again— So I piped, he wept to hear.Drop thy pipe thy happy pipe Sing thy songs of happy chear, So I sung the same again While he wept with joy to hear Piper sit thee down and writeIn a book that all may read— So he vanish'd from my sight. And I pluck'd a hollow reed. And I made a rural pen,And I stain'd the water clear,And I wrote my happy songsEvery child may joy to hear.- Introduction to the Songs of Innocence
