Jim Clark All rights are reserved on this sound recording/copyright/patent Jim Clark 2002 The Angel I dreamt a dream! What can it mean? And that I was a maiden Queen Guarded by an Angel mild: Witless woe was ne'er beguiled! And I wept both night and day, And he wiped my tears away; And I wept both day and night, And hid from him my heart's delight. So he took his wings, and fled; Then the morn blushed rosy red. I dried my tears, and armed my fears With ten thousand shields and spears. Soon my Angel came again; I was armed, he came in vain; For the time of youth was fled, And grey hairs were on my head. The Fly By William Blake 1794 Little Fly Thy summer's play My thoughtless hand Has brush'd away Am not I A fly like thee? Or art not thou A man like me? For I dance And drink & sing, Till some blind hand Shall brush my wing. If thought is life And strength & breath, And the want Of thought is death; Then am I A happy fly, If I live, Or if I die. |
