Songs Of Innocence |
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 cheer. |
Piper pipe that song again. |
So I piped, he wept to hear. |
Drop thy pipe, thy happy pipe. |
Sing thy songs of happy cheer. |
So I sung the same again. |
While he wept with joy to hear. |
Piper sit thee down and write. |
In a book that all may read. |
So he vanished from my sight. |
And I plucked a hollow reed. |
And I made a rural pen. |
And I stained the water clear. |
And I wrote my happy songs. |
Every child may joy to hear. |
The sun does arise. |
And make happy the skies. |
The merry bells ring. |
To welcome the spring. |
The skylark and thrush. |
The birds of the bush. |
Sing louder around. |
To the bells cheerful sound. |
While our sports shall be seen. |
On the echoing green. |
Songs of innocence. |
Songs of innocence. |
Songs of innocence. |
Songs of innocence. |
Father, father, where are you going. |
Oh do not walk so fast. |
Speak father, speak to your little boy. |
Or else I shall be lost. |
The night was dark, no father was there. |
The child was wet with dew. |
The mire was deep, and the child did weep. |
And away the vapor flew. |
Songs of innocence. |
Songs of innocence. |
Songs of innocence. |
Songs of innocence. |
The little boy lost in the lonely fen. |
Led by the wandering light, began to cry. |
But god ever nigh, appeared like his father in white. |
He kissed the child and by the hand led. |
And to his mother brought. |
Who in sorry pale, through the lonely dale. |
The little boy weeping sought. |
Songs of innocence. |
Songs of innocence. |
Songs of innocence. |
Songs of innocence. |
Sweet babe in thy face. |
Holy image I can trace. |
Sweet babe once like me. |
Thy maker lay and wept for me. |
Wept for me, for thee, for all. |
When he was an infant small. |
There his image ever see. |
Heavenly face that smiles on thee. |
Songs of innocence. |
Songs of innocence. |
Songs of innocence. |
Songs of innocence. |
Songs of innocence. |
Songs of innocence. |
Songs of innocence. |
Songs of innocence. |
A little black thing among the snow. |
Crying weep weep, with notes of woe. |
Where is thy father and mother say. |
The are both gone up to the church to pray. |
Because I was happy upon the heath. |
And smiled among the winter snow. |
The clothed me in the clothes of death. |
And taught me to sing the notes of woe. |
And because I am happy. |
And dance and sing. |
They think they have done me no injury. |
And have gone to praise god |
and his priest and king. |
Who make up a heaven of our misery. |
