  • Jerusalem by William Blake
    And did those feet in ancient time
    Walk upon Englands mountains green:
    And was the holy Lamb of God,
    On Englands pleasant pastures seen!
    And did the Countenance Divine,
    Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
    And was Jerusalem builded here,
    Among these dark Satanic Mills?
    Bring me my Bow of burning gold:
    Bring me my arrows of desire:
    Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold!
    Bring me my Chariot of fire!
    I will not cease from Mental Fight,
    Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand:
    Till we have built Jerusalem,
    In Englands green & pleasant Land.

  • In Summer Poem by Paul Laurence Dunbar
    Oh, summer has clothed the earth
    In a cloak from the loom of the sun!
    And a mantle, too, of the skies' soft blue,
    And a belt where the rivers run.
    And now for the kiss of the wind,
    And the touch of the air's soft hands,
    With the rest from strife and the heat of life,
    With the freedom of lakes and lands.
    I envy the farmer's boy
    Who sings as he follows the plow;
    While the shining green of the young blades lean
    To the breezes that cool his brow.
    He sings to the dewy morn,
    No thought of another's ear;
    But the song he sings is a chant for kings
    And the whole wide world to hear.
    He sings of the joys of life,
    Of the pleasures of work and rest,
    From an o'erfull heart, without aim or art;
    'T is a song of the merriest.
    O ye who toil in the town,
    And ye who moil in the mart,
    Hear the artless song, and your faith made strong
    Shall renew your joy of heart.
    Oh, poor were the worth of the world
    If never a song were heard,—
    If the sting of grief had no relief,
    And never a heart were stirred.
    So, long as the streams run down,
    And as long as the robins trill,
    Let us taunt old Care with a merry air,
    And sing in the face of ill
