New poem I learned.
Heyy all! I learned to read a new poem! It's by a man named William Blake. I hope you enjoy it!
The sun descending in the west; the evening star does shine; the birds are silent in their nest, and I must seek for mine. The moon like a flower in heaven's high bower, with silent delight sit and smiles on the night.
Farewell, green fields and happy groves, where flocks have took delight. Where lambs have nibbled, silent moves the feet of angels bright; unseen they pour blessings and joy without ceasing, on each bud and blossom, and each sleeping bosom.
They look in every thoughtless nest, where birds are covered warm; they visit caves of every beast, to keep them all from harm. If they see any weeping that should be sleeping, they pour sleep on their head, and sit down by their bed.
When wolves and tigers howl for prey, they pitying stand and weep; seeking to drive their thirst away, and keep them from their sheep; but if they rush dreadful, the angels, most heedful, recieve each mild spirit, new worlds to inherit.
And there the lion's ruddy eyes shall flow with tears of gold, and pitying the tender cries, and walking round the fold, saying ''Wrath, by his meekness, and by his health, sickness is driven away from our immortal day.
'And now beside thee, bleating lamb, I can lie down and sleep; on think on him who bore thy name, graze after thee and weep. For, washed in life's river, my bright mane forever shall shine like the gold as I guard over the fold.''
I hope that you enjoyed it! It took me a long time to learn. Much luvs!! xoxoxo heart
