Blake Quotations Flashcards
Piping down the valleys wild…
piping with pleasant glee
Pipe a song about a lamp … sing thy song …
sit the down and write. So he vanished from my sight.
I love to rise in a summer morn …
When thebirds sing on every tree
But to go to school in summer morn …
Oh! It drives all joy away.
How can the bird that is born for joy …
sit in a cage and sing
The Sun does arise, and make happy our skies …
while our sports shall be seen, on the echoing green
Little Tom Dacre who cried, when his head that …
curled like a lamb’s back was shaved
Tom was a-sleeping, he had such a sight:
That thousands of sweepers, Dick, Joe, Ned and Jack. Were all of them locked in coffins of black
Angel who had a bright key … opened the coffins and set them all free..
Then down to a green plain leaping, laughing they run, and was in a river and shine in the sun
How sweet is the shepherd’s sweet lot!
His tongue shall be filled with praise …
For he hears the lamb’s innocent call …
and he hears the ewe’s tender reply
He is watchful, while they are in peace
For the know when their shepherd is nigh.
The voices of children are heard on the green and laughing is heard on the hill …
my heart is at rest wthin my breast
“play till the light fades away”… the little ones leaped
and shouted and laughed and all the hills echoed”
And sport no more seen …
on the darkening green
