MY SONG OF INNOCENCE AND EXPERIENCE

Then:

The places I most loved to be?

Hills ...

Or river ...

Woods ...

Or lake ...

Now:

I try to apply to me ...

The wonderful words of William Blake:

“To see a World in a Grain of Sand ...

And a Heaven in a Wild Flower ...

Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand ...

And Eternity in an hour” **

But, actually, what I’d really like ...

Is a full life back tomorrow ...

To have one would be a Heaven indeed ...

Do you have one I might borrow??
