Q

I went to the garden

A

of love, and saw what I never had seen: A chapel was built in the midst, where I used to play on the green

But their search was all in vain:
there grows one in the Human Brain
26
Their innocent
faces clean
27
The children walking
two & two in red & blue & green
28
Grey
headed beadles
29
They sit with
radiance all their own
30
Beneath them sit
the aged men, wise guardians of the poor
31
Is this a holy thing
to see, in a rich and fruitful land
32
Babes reduc'd to
misery, fed with cold and usurous hand?
33
Is that trembling
cry a song?
34
And their fields
are bleak & bare
35
Could scarcely cry
'weep" 'weep! 'weep! 'weep!
36
There's little Tom
Dacre, who cried when his head that curl'd like lambs back was shav'd
37
Hush Tom, never mind it
for when your head's bare, you know the soot cannot spoil your white hair
38
That thousands of sweepers, Dick, Joe, Ned & Jack,
were all of them lock'd up in coffins of black
39
Then naked & white
all their bags left behind
40
So if all do their duty
they need not fear harm
41
A little black thing
among the snow
42
Where are your mother and father, say?
They are both gone up to the church to pray
43
They clothed me
in the clothes of death, and taught me to sing the notes of woe
44
And because I am
happy & dance & sing, they think they have done me no injury
45
And are gone to praise God
& his priest & King, who make up a heaven of our misery
46
the church is cold
but the Ale-house is healthy & pleasant & warm
47
I wander thro'
each charter'd street
48
Marks of
weakness, marks of woe
49
In every cry
of every man, in every infant's cry of fear
50
The mind-
forg'd manacles I hear
51
Every black'ning
Church appalls
52
And the hapless
soldier's sigh
53
Look on the rising sun
there God does live
54
When the voices of children
are heard on the green and laughing is heard on the hill
55
The come home
my children, the sun is gone down
56
No, no, let us
play, for yet it is day
57
Besides, in the sky
the little birds fly
58
Well, well, go &
play till the light fades away
59
The days of my youth
rise fresh in my mind, and my face turns green and pale
60
Your spring & your day
are wasted in play
61
Nor a thorn
nor a threat stain her beauty bright
62
Love seeketh
not itself to please
63
The invisible worm
that flies in the night
64
Has found out thy bed
of crimson joy
65
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy
66
I was angry
with my friend; I told my wrath, my wrath did end. I was angry with my foe; I told it not, my wrath did grow
67
I sunned it with smiles
And with soft deceitful wiles
68
In the morning
glad I see my foe outstretch'd beneath the tree
