SONGS OF INNOCENCE By William Blake (1757- 1827) PIPING down the valleys wild, Piping songs of peasant 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 cheer. 'Piper, pipe that song again;' So I piped: he wept to hear. 'Drop thy pipe, thy happy pipe; Sing thy songs of happy cheer!' So I sang 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 vanished from my sight; And I plucked 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.
I chose this poem because it has really good descriptions and it has great rhyme schemes. Also, even though the vocabulary is a bit confusing at times, everything still makes sense. In my opinion, this poem has a message telling us that we can do whatever we wish as long as we enjoy it. Also, some of the things we do might be some of the things that people really want to hear and see.
Poetic Devices * Rhyme Scheme - read, reed; clear, hear; etc * Alliteration - Piper, pipe; sing, songs; piping, peasant; etc
The picture I chose is in the background. I chose this picture because it shows us the real artwork of William Blake. Also, it shows a picture of little kids with an adult, and it shows how innocent they are.
