lyrics

Introduction
(William Blake)

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 chear,
"Piper, pipe that song again"
So I piped, he wept to hear.
"Drop thy pipe, thy happy pipe,
Sing thy songs of happy chear"
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 vanish'd from my sight
And I pluck'd 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.
