Reeds of Innocence
iping 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 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 songs
Every child may joy to hear.
William Blake
