Children of the future AgeA
Reading this indignant pageA
Know that in a former timeB
Love sweet Love was thought a crimeB
-
In the Age of GoldC
Free from winters coldC
Youth and maiden brightD
To the holy lightD
Naked in the sunny beams delightD
-
Once a youthful pairE
Fill'd with softest careE
Met in garden brightD
Where the holy lightD
Had just removed the curtains of the nightD
-
There in rising dayF
On the grass they playF
Parents were afarG
Strangers came not nearH
And the maiden soon forgot her fearH
-
Tired with kisses sweetI
They agree to meetI
When the silent sleepJ
Waves o'er heavens deepJ
And the weary tired wanderers weepJ
-
To her father whiteD
Came the maiden brightD
But his loving lookK
Like the holy bookK
All her tender limbs with terror shookK
-
Ona pale and weakL
To thy father speakL
O the trembling fearH
O the dismal careE
That shakes the blossoms of my hoary hairE

William Blake
