Poemsby William Blake

Nurse's Song

A Dream

Infant Joy

 
 "I have no name;
 I am but two days old."
 What shall I call thee?
 "I happy am,
 Joy is my name."
 Sweet joy befall thee!

 
 Pretty joy!
 Sweet joy, but two days old.
 Sweet Joy I call thee:
 Thou dost smile,
 I sing the while;
 Sweet joy befall thee!
