Songs of Innocence 6

 

The Blossom (1789) 

William Blake (1757-1827) 

Merry, Merry Sparrow! 
Under leaves so green 
A happy Blossom 
Sees you, swift as arrow, 
Seek your cradle narrow, 
Near my Bosom. 

Pretty, Pretty Robin! 
Under leaves so green 
A happy Blossom 
Hears you sobbing, sobbing, 
Pretty Pretty Robin, 
Near my Bosom.
