Laughing Song

Old aqueduct ..., originally uploaded by Azorina.

When the green woods laugh with the voice of joy,
And the dimpling stream runs laughing by;
When the air does laugh with our merry wit,
And the green hill laughs with the noise of it;

When the meadows laugh with lively green,
And the grasshopper laughs in the merry scene;
When Mary and Susan and Emily
With their sweet round mouths sing 'Ha ha he!'

When the painted birds laugh in the shade,
Where our table with cherries and nuts is spread:
Come live, and be merry, and join with me,
To sing the sweet chorus of 'Ha ha he!'

LAUGHING SONG - William Blake

Ah! Sun-Flower

Ah! Sun-Flower

Ah, Sun-flower! weary of time,
Who countest the steps of the Sun,
Seeking after that sweet golden clime
Where the traveller's journey is done:

Where the Youth pined away with desire
And the pale Virgin shrouded in snow
Arise from their graves, and aspire
Where my Sun-flower wishes to go.

William Blake

Para ver o mundo num grão de areia...

Um país de areia e sol... (II), originally uploaded by Joe Taruga.

Para ver o mundo num grão de areia
E o céu numa flor silvestre,
Segura o infinito na palma da tua mão
E a eternidade numa hora.

William Blake - (1757-1827)
