(1) William Blake(1757-1827) : "The Chimney Sweeper"

from Songs of Innocence
"The Chimney Sweeper"

1 When my mother died I was very young,
2 And my father sold me while yet my tongue,
3 Could scarcely cry weep, weep, weep.
4 So your chimneys I sweep & in soot I sleep.

5 There little Tom Dacre, who cried when his head
6 That curled like a lambs back, was shaved, so I said,
7 Hush Tom never mind it, for when your head`s bare,
8 You know that the soot cannot spoil your while hair.

9 And so he was quiet, & that very night,
10 as Tom was a sleeping he had such a sight,
11 That thousands of sweepers Dick, Joe Ned & Jack
12 Were all of them locked up in coffins of black

13 And by came an angel who had bright key,
14 And he opened the coffins & set them all free.
15 Then down a green plain leaping laughing they run
16 And wash in a river and shine in the Sun.

17 Then naked & white, all their bags left behind,
18 They rise upon clouds, and sport in the wind.
19 And the Angel told if he`d be a good boy,
20 He`d have God for his father & never want joy.

21 And so Tom awoke and we rose in the dark
22 And got with our bag & our brushes to work.
23 Though the morning was cold, Tom was happy & warm,
24 So if all do their duty, they need not fear harm.
