Songs of Innocence
by William Blake
INTRODUCTION 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.

It's always a treat to read your blog. Surprises are in store each time I open your site. Whether it's a family story or one of your many original tales, the pleasure is all mine.
Naturally, you enticed me into trying Ivysim Words, and found it more than a lark. Hmmmm! "Lark" has a familiar ring to it. I believe a friend composed a poem for me using that word. Very interesting!
