1789 - Songs of Innocence
Spring
by William Blake
I
thought this was appropriate for the season, despite the heavy snow
last week I found three tiny snowdrops poking up through the ground, a
sure sign spring has arrived and another hard, cold winter is almost
behind us. I was so pleased to see these snowdrops, as soon as the first
flower has arrived the others follow, next it will be the spring
daffodils and then the bluebells.
SPRING
Sound the Flute!
Now it's mute.
Birds delight
Day and Night
Nightingale
In the dale
Lark in Sky
Merrily
Merrily Merrily to welcome in the Year
Little Boy
Full of joy,
Little Girl
Sweet and small,
Cock does crow
So do you.
Merry voice
Infant noise
Merrily Merrily to welcome in the Year
Little Lamb
Here I am.
Come and lick
My white neck.
Let me pull
Your soft Wool.
Let me kiss
Your soft face
Merrily Merrily we welcome in the Year
SUCH A SWEET POEM! I AM THINKING STRONGLY ABOUT SPRING, NOW!!

though
we 'oft feature differing styles - you leaning classical me informal -
words are such delightful companions in any form and in any weather

Snow
fell here last night but your post made me pad out to the deck and
check for any crocus just in case. None there. I bet in a month or so
they will peak out of the ground. A very hopeful post! TY.

What a lovely piece by Blake. Let us dream!
It's still chilly here and snow/rain coming, still, we remember and we can look ahead with anticipation. Such a sweet piece and yes, innocence for sure. |

I've
seen that they've planted a few, or should I say very few, pansies in
the little park by my house. At the moment, we're having almost
springlike weather, which probably won't last long since I've just had
my haircut short.
I like Blake the poet but I think I prefer Blake the artist. |
