Description
On a country road near Acton Burnell, Shropshire, UK
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 Englands green & pleasant Land
William Blake (1804)
Now best known as Jerusalem with music written by Sir Hubert Parry (1916)
