Songs of Innocence and of Experience

Songs of Innocence and of Experience is one of William Blake’s most influential works, bringing together lyrical simplicity, prophetic imagination, and sharp moral insight. The poems move between childhood vision, suffering, social injustice, and spiritual longing. This BooksWhale edition presents the English original text for online reading, EPUB, and PDF, without relying on copyrighted modern illustrations.

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.

Chapitre d'aperçu

The Shepherd

How sweet is the shepherd’s sweet lot!

From the morn to the evening he strays;

He shall follow his sheep all the day,

And his tongue shall be fillèd with praise.
