William Blake - Introduction to the Songs of Innocence
Work rating: Medium

            Piping down the valleys wild,
            Piping songs of peasant 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 sang 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 stain`d the water clear,
            And I wrote my happy songs
            Every child may joy to hear.
