Introduzione al libro

Songs of Innocence and of Experience

Songs of Innocence and of Experience sets simple lyric forms against fierce moral insight. William Blake moves between childlike wonder and the darker knowledge of poverty, authority, religion, and desire, making innocence and experience speak to one another.

Songs of Innocence

Capitolo in anteprimaIntroductionAnteprima

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.
