Introduction Lyrics by Patrick Hawes

Songs of Innocence

2020

Piping down the valleys wild
Piping songs of pleasant 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 chear
Piper, pipe that song again—
So I piped, he wept to hear

Drop thy pipe thy happy pipe
Sing thy songs of happy chear
So I sung 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 vanish’d from my sight
And I pluck’d 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
