Jerusalem And
did those feet in ancient time Walk upon England's mountains green? And
was the holy Lamb of God On England's 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 England's green and pleasant land.
[William Blake] |
