| The Blossom is a poem by William Blake, published in Songs of Innocence in 1789.
This poem is full of cheerful images of life, such as "leaves so green", a "happy blossom," and two birds, the "merry sparrow" and "pretty robin."
|
Merry merry sparrow!
Under leaves so green
A happy blossom
Sees you swift as arrow
Seek your cradle narrow
Near my bosom.
Pretty pretty robin!
Under leaves so green
A happy blossom
Hears you sobbing sobbing
Pretty pretty robin
Near my bosom.
