But he who kisses the Joy as it flies Infant Joy The Lamb Live in Eternity’s sunrise. "I have no name: Little Lamb, who made thee? And all must love the human form, In heathen, Turk, or Jew; I am but two days old." Dost thou know who made thee? The look of love alarms, Where Mercy, Love, and Pity dwell What shall I call thee? Gave thee life, and bid thee feed, Because it’s fill’d with fire; There God is dwelling too. "I happy am, By the stream and o’er the mead; But the look of soft deceit Joy is my name." Gave thee clothing of delight, Shall win the lover’s hire. Sweet joy befall thee! Softest clothing wooly, bright; Gave thee such a tender voice, Soft deceit and idleness, Pretty Joy! Making all the vales rejoice? These are beauty’s sweetest dress. Sweet Joy, but two days old. Little Lamb, who made thee? Sweet Joy I call thee. Dost thou know who made thee? Thou dost smile, In Sleep the World is Yours I sing the while, Little Lamb, I’ll tell thee, poetry by Selma Meerbaum-Eisinger Sweet joy befall thee!

He became a little child. Piping songs of pleasant glee, I a child, and thou a lamb, On a cloud I saw a child, We are callèd by His name. Lullaby Yes And he laughing said to me: Little Lamb, God bless thee! Sleep, my child, just fall asleep, You are so distant. Little Lamb, God bless thee! please sleep and don’t cry anymore. As distant as a star I thought I’d grasped. “Pipe a song about a Lamb.” Just look, in sleep the world is yours, And yet you are near — So I piped with merry cheer. please sleep and don’t cry so hard. just a little dusty “Piper, pipe that song again;” The Divine Image like time that’s past. So I piped: he wept to hear. To Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love Close your eyes and fall asleep, Yes. “Drop thy pipe, thy happy pipe; All pray in their distress; listen, the forest is rustling. Sing thy songs of happy cheer:” And to these virtues of delight In sleep there is no hate and no scorn, You are so huge. So I sang the same again, Return their thankfulness. and in sleep you are not cold. As huge as the shadow of that tree. While he wept with joy to hear. And still you’re just here too — For Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love Sleep, my darling, and smile, my child, just pale like a dream “Piper, sit thee down and write Is God, our Father dear, listen, the river is singing. in my bosom. In a book, that all may read.” And Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love Sleep, then the wind will sing of joy Yes. So he vanish'd from my sight, Is man, His child and care. and sing of the blossoming spring. And I pluck'd a hollow reed, Tragedy For Mercy has a human heart, Sleep my child and forget your ails, And I made a rural pen, Pity a human face, This is the hardest: to give yourself away for you the day is dark. And I stain'd the water clear, And Love, the human form divine, and then to see that no one needs you, Bright is the night when a dream And I wrote my happy songs And Peace, the human dress. to give all of yourself and realize cuddles you, Every child may joy to hear. you’ll fade like smoke and leave no trace. so sleep my child, so sleep. Three Fairy Tales What need have I of tongue? My eyes will speak of love. He’ll draw me close and claim me for his own. The Little Mermaid And we will wed. The water was so clear that I could see the sky And there’ll be mirth and music. And as I looked a ship stopped overhead Bearing many mortals, with sounds of mirth, and music. She comes bearing a knife to cleave my tail So I can walk to my beloved and loving gain a soul. Suddenly a god-like face gaz’d upon the water. Aaaah the pain! The pain! It was a handsome prince who dallied there. And now I part my lips to pay the promised price. His beauty was so radiant my heart leapt in my breast; My prince! Ah aaaah! My body turned to fire. All the night tossing on my bed The Ugly Duckling His image blazed before me Winter, winter. When I was born my mother did mourn Brighter than the stars Snow covered me. What terrible luck, Whose light streamed through the water. Eternity seemed at hand. She’s too big for a duck But as I slept, Duck duck duck duckling. Day succeeded day; Spring crept across the land. Instead of pink my feet were black, I could not eat; My beak was black, I could not sleep. It was then a great surprise I had the wrong kind of quack I was dying of love. To wake up to sunny skies. For a duckling. Finally I knew what I fain would do. From above a cloud of white Majestic birds in royal flight None of the ducks would play with me Many leagues from here, Called to me. Because I was so ugly. In a purple grotto They saw my plight. The hen didn’t want me, nor the cat, Lives a pow’rful witch; The farmer’s daughter knocked me flat! She can change fish to mortals. Landing on eager feet, She will cleave my tail and give me legs Speaking in murmurs sweet, Misery. Oh, misery. To walk upon the land and find my prince. They stroked me with their beaks and wings My mother tried to explain away My feet will bleed at every step. And said the most astounding things. My clumsy wings and face of gray. The pain will be so strong that only love will bear me on. They said I was a swan! She said go out in the sun and play. But I shall seek him out. Like them, not a duck at all. But I saw in the pond And when he looks at me he’ll know. A swan! I was not blonde! He will know. The crack in my quack grew daily worse. He too will fall in love. Happy at last. And we shall evermore be one. All my ugliness is past, There seemed to be some awful curse. For I am a swan! As I grew stronger Why then would I rue the prince? A beautiful white swan! My neck grew longer. It isn’t peals nor is it gold. I decided to end it all The witch wants what I vowed to give, When the ducks flew South in the fall. My tongue, my little tongue! Disconsolate, I would not fly; I would stay in the pond and die!.

  • Learner Resource 7 “The Divine Image” and “The Human Abstract” – a Comparison
    William Blake Learner Resource 7 “The Divine Image” and “The Human Abstract” – a comparison In the exam you are asked to compare two poems. This activity poses the following exam-type question: • Explore how Blake presents religion in “The Divine Image” and “The Human Abstract”. You should consider his use of stylistic techniques, as well as any other relevant contexts. Below are two tables to help you to find ideas for your essay. Divide yourselves into pairs: one of you is responsible for completing table one and the other is responsible for completing table two. Once you have completed your half of the table, you can either take it in turns to give feedback to the class, or swap one of your completed tables with another pair, so that you have the two halves to refer to when you write your essay. Table one: “The Human Abstract” “The Divine Image” “The Human Abstract” Context: In the Songs of Innocence – rhetorical praise of God and man and the connections between them. Reference to the ballad form, and the common hymn metre. Possible links to “The Human Abstract”, “The Divine Image”. Structure: Introduction (human interaction with the abstract qualities of Mercy, Pity etc.), development (qualities seen in human behaviour and form), elaboration (unity of those qualities and God), conclusion (man, these qualities and God are one and the same – if we live by these qualities then we are close to God). Voice: First person plural, with the possessive pronoun “our” presuming a shared belief “our father dear”. Nature of the voice – declarative sentences suggest a confidence, that this is a statement of an accepted truth about the connection between man and God.

  • The Death of God: William Blake's Version
    ll' illiam Wailing THE DEATH OF GOD: WILLIAM BLAKE'S VERSION I ~ I,!,. A LI'ITLE oVER a hundred and forty years ago, on December 17, 1825, a London lawyer named Henry Crabb Robinson paid a call on an obscure engraver who, despite a lifetime of unremitting toil, was living, in his sixty-eighth year, in abject poverty. "I found him", Robinson tells us, "in a small room which seems to be both a working-room and a bed-room. Nothing could exceed the squalid air both of the apartment and his dress; but in spite of dirt-I might say filth-an air of natural gentility is diffused over him; and his wife, not­ withstanding the same offensive character of her dress and appearance, has a good expression of countenance." Looking around for a chair, Robinson was rather dismayed to discover that the only one available seemed ready to fall apart when he touched it, and he extemporized by sitting on the bed. More disturbingly, the conversation which ensued struck him as so strange that when he had returned home he decided that the engraver was hopelessly dis­ ordered in his thinking-disordered, in fact, to the point of madness. And so, in a gesture of dismissal of the whole experience, the London lawyer wrote in his diary: "I fear I shall not make any progress in ascertaining his opinions and feelings,-but there being really no system or connection in his mind, all his future conversation will be but varieties of wildness and incongruity." Less than two years later the engraver died, singing on his deathbed a hymn of joy of his own composing.
