Jerusalem

And did those feet in ancient time

Walk upon englands mountains green?

And was the holy lamb of god

On englands pleasant pastures seen?

And did the countenance divine

Shine forth upon our clouded hills?

And was jerusalem builded here

Among those 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 chariots of fire!

I will not cease from metal fight;

Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand

Till we have built jerusalem

In englands green and pleasant land.
