Ooops!

I went to April's tonight so that she could help me make my blog a little less boring. As you will notice it looks much better now. I even have music! This, of course, makes me smile. Now I took my collection of poems so she could maybe help me pick out which one to share with you for todays entry. The problem with this is that when I left her house to head back home I forgot to take them with me. I guess they can keep her company until I can get back over there and bring my precious books back home. Since I failed to bring them home with me I will be sharing another's work with you. I have always loved William Blake. I am especially fond of his Songs of Innocence. This collection of poetry are so beautiful and speak to me. Every time I read them I fall in love with Blake's eloquence all over again. I am going to share "The Lamb" today. I know some of you may have read it before, but my other favorite is "The Night" and I feel that night has been covered sufficiently in my past two entries. I can't help myself. I love night, the moon, and all of those nocturnal sorts of things so you will probably see a lot of reference to night from me. Okay, back to the point of this blog. "The Lamb" seemed to be the more logical choice between the two so here it is. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do.

Little lamb, who made thee?
Dost thou know who made thee?
Gave thee life, and bid thee feed
By the stream and o'er the mead;
Gave thee clothing of delight,
Softest clothing, woolly, bright;
Gave thee such a tender voice,
Making all the vales rejoice?
Little lamb, who made thee?
Dost thou know who made thee?

Little lamb, I'll tell thee,
Little lamb, I'll tell thee:
He is called by thy name,
For He calls Himself a Lamb.
He is meek, and He is mild;
He became a little child.
I a child, and thou a lamb,
We are called by His name.
Little lamb, God bless thee!
Little lamb, God bless thee!
-William Blake


See? It's beautiful!
