FROM THE UM PRESIDENT
The University of Michigan joins the University Musical Society (UMS) in welcoming you to its 125th Anniversary Season. We are proud of the wonderful partnership between our two organizations and of the role of the University as cosponsor of several events on this season's calendar. In addition to
reflecting the artistic beauty and passion that are integral to the human experience, these jointly sponsored events are also wonderful opportunities for University of Michigan students and faculty to learn about the creative
process and the sources of inspiration that motivate artists and scholars.
We are delighted to welcome UMS back to Hill Auditorium in time to celebrate UMS's 125th Anniversary with several concerts and revelry on January 17, 18, and 19. Some of the highlights of the weekend will include a festive gala dinner and concert on January 17 and a rare appearance of the marvelous Orchestre Revolutionnaire et Romantique and The Monteverdi Choir on January 18. The weekend will conclude with the Jazz Divas Summit on January 19, as the University and UMS jointly commemorate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
I thoroughly enjoyed the results of our collaboration with UMS in Autumn 2003, which included some extraordinary per?formances. In 2004, a number of superb productions will result from the partner?ship between the University and UMS. Some of these include appearances by the Israel Philharmonic, the great pianist Alfred Brendel, and the celebrated saxo
phonist Ornette Coleman, who will also provide a twoday residency to our stu?dents. The University is also working with UMS to provide exceptional educational programs to the campus: the legendary Merce Cunningham Dance Company will collaborate with our Department of Dance, and members of the Guthrie Theater will participate in over 20 events when they are in town to present their magnificent production of Othello. The remarkable ArabAmerican artist Simon Shaheen has been providing a splendid residency in Ann Arbor and Dearborn in conjunction with the Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services, culminating in a concert in the Michigan Theater on January 31. And on April 8, UMS and the School of Music collaborate to produce Professor William Bolcom's epic Songs of Innocence and of Experience. I want to thank the faculty and staff of the University of Michigan and UMS for their hard work and dedication in making our partnership a success. The University of Michigan is pleased to support the University Musical Society during this exhilarating 0304 season, and we share the goal of making our copresentations aca?demic and cultural events that benefit the university community and the broadest possible constituency.
Sincerely,
WflU

FROM THE UMS PRESIDENT
Thank you for joining us for this perfor?mance during UMS's historic 125th season. We appreciate your support of the performing arts and of UMS, and we hope that we'll see you at more of our pro?grams during this milestone season. Check the complete listing of UMS's Winter 2004 events beginning on p. 27 and on our web
site at www.ums.org.
The big news during this winter term is, of course, the reopening of Hill Auditorium after its 20month renovation and restoration. If you're read?ing this program book while you are in Hill Audi?torium, welcome back to this glorious 90yearold venue. If you're at another venue, I hope you have been or will soon get to Hill. What the University of Michigan has done in this
phase of Hill's renovation is absolutely marvelous. As a patron, you'll find a much more welcoming and comfortable build?ing... and one whose infrastructure has been vastly updated and improved to see it through the 21st century. Take the elevator to the balcony, have a coffee in the Elizabeth E. Kennedy Lower Lobby, sit in one of the new and wider seats on the main floor, and look at the stunning new colors surrounding the stage and the ring of lights on the ceiling. These are totally new experiences for a patron attending a UMS concert. What remains to be done in the next phase of renovation is the con?struction of a backstage addition to Hill
Auditorium so that this worldrenowned concert hall will be as welcoming and comfortable for our visiting artists as it is now for our patrons.
We are pleased that International Arts Manager, the major business magazine for the performing arts published in London, featured UMS as the cover story in its
DecemberJanuary issue (see photo). The article recognizes the prominent role UMS now plays on the international performing arts scene, the outstanding team of UMS department heads, and UMS's being the oldest universityrelated pre?senting organization in the US. Visit our website to read the article.
It's wonderful to have you with us for this perfor?mance. Feel free to get in touch with us if you have
any questions or problems. The best place to begin is with our Ticket Office at 734.764.2538. You should also feel free to get in touch with me about anything related to UMS. If you don't see me in the lobby at this performance, please send me an email message at kenfisch@umich.edu or call me at 734.647.1174.
Very best wishes,
Kenneth C. Fischer UMS President
LETTER FROM THE CHAIR
irtie UMS 125th season continues with I the opening of a newly renovated Hill I Auditorium. What a pleasure it is to have our unique hall back with comfortable seats, air conditioning, and more restrooms!
Our fall season culminated with the Globe Theatre's production of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, the Boston Pops, and the
125th annual UMS pro?duction of Handel's Messiah -very different and equally engaging pro?ductions. The UMS staff deserves a standing ova?tion for their enormous hard work. This past
summer we had to reduce our staff by 20, further increasingly everyone's work?load. This is a truly dedicated staff that continuously does a superb job providing the best productions and educational events for the University and our community.
In December, UMS celebrated, if from afar, President Ken Fischer who received the Patrick Hayes Award in London. Named after the man who was founding president of the International Society for the Performing Arts (ISPA) in 1949 and served as Ken's mentor, the Patrick Hayes Award recognizes an ISPA member of long standing whose achievements in arts man?agement are deserving of the highest praise and recognition.
This winter season brings us the Children of Uganda, the Israel Philhar?monic, and virtuosic pianist Lang Lang, to name just a few events from the splendid artistic menu UMS has planned for us.
The season finale will be the Ford Honors Program on May 15 featuring Sweet Honey in the Rock (founder Bernice Johnson Reagon received an honorary degree from UM in 2000). The perform?ance will coincide with the opening of the University Capital Campaign. UMS will be a prominent part of the campaign, and we look to our audience and friends to help us ensure the future of the organization. For those of us who have been able to sup?port UMS in the past, it is an honor to participate in providing such a rich cultur?al environment for the University, the community and southeastern Michigan. I invite all of you to join us in ensuring the growth and success of the University Musical Society.
Sincerely,
Prue Rosenthal

UMSannals
Through an uncompromising commit?ment to Presentation, Education, and the Creation of new work, the University Musical Society (UMS) serves Michigan audiences by bring?ing to our community an ongoing series of worldclass artists, who represent the diverse spectrum of today's vigorous and exciting live performing arts world. Over its 125 years, strong leadership coupled with a devoted com?munity has placed UMS in a league of interna?tionallyrecognized performing arts presenters. Indeed, Musical America selected UMS as one of the five most influential arts presenters in the United States in 1999. Today, the UMS seasonal program is a reflection of a thoughtful respect for this rich and varied history, balanced by a commitment to dynamic and creative visions of where the performing arts will take us in this millennium. Every day UMS seeks to cultivate, nurture, and stimulate public interest and partic?ipation in every facet of the live arts.
UMS grew from a group of local university and townspeople who gathered together for the study of Handel's Messiah. Led by Professor Henry Simmons Frieze and conducted by Professor Calvin Cady, the group assumed the name The Choral Union. Their first perform?ance of Handel's Messiah was in December of
1879, and this glorious oratorio has since been performed by the UMS Choral Union annually.
As a great number of Choral Union members also belonged to the University, the University Musical Society was established in December
1880. UMS included the Choral Union and
University Orchestra, and throughout the year presented a series of concerts featuring local and visiting artists and ensembles.
Since that first season in 1880, UMS has expanded greatly and now presents the very best from the full spectrum of the performing arts--internationally renowned recitalists and orchestras, dance and chamber ensembles, jazz and world music performers, and opera and

theater. Through educational endeavors, com?missioning of new works, youth programs, artist residencies and other collaborative projects, UMS has maintained its reputation for quality, artistic distinction, and innovation. UMS now hosts approximately 90 performances and more than 150 educational events each season. UMS has flourished with the support of a generous community that this year gathers in 11 diverse venues in Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti.
While proudly affiliated with the University of Michigan, housed on the Ann Arbor campus, and a regular collaborator with many University units, UMS is a separate notforprofit organi?zation that supports itself from ticket sales, corporate and individual contributions, foun?dation and government grants, special project support from UM, and endowment income.
UMS CHORAL UNION
Throughout its 125year history, the UMS Choral Union has performed with many of the world's distin?guished orchestras and conductors. Based in Ann Arbor under the aegis of the University Musical Society, the 150voice Choral Union is known for its definitive per?formances of largescale works for chorus and orchestra. Eleven years ago, the Choral Union further enriched that tradition when it began appearing regularly with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra (DSO). Among other works, the cho?rus has joined the DSO in Orchestra Hall and at Meadow Brook for subscription performanc?es of Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms, John Adams' Harmonium, Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, Orff 's Carmina Burana, Ravel's Daphnis et Chloi and Brahms' Ein deutsches Requiem,
Participation in the Choral Union remains open to all by audition. Members share one common passion--a love of the choral art.
and has recorded Tchaikovsky's The Snow Maiden with the orchestra for Chandos, Ltd.
Led by interim conductor Jerry Blackstone, the Choral Union opened its current season with performances of Verdi's Requiem with the DSO in September. In December the chorus presented its 125th series of annual perform?ances of Handel's Messiah. The Choral Union's season will conclude with a performance of William Bolcom's Song of Innocence and of Experience in the newly renovated Hill Auditorium in April 2004.
The Choral Union's 0203 season included performances of Mahler's Symphony No. 3 with the DSO, followed by a performance of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 with the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra. Choral Union's season concluded in March with a pair of mag?nificent French choral works: Honegger's King David, accompanied by members of the Greater Lansing Symphony Orchestra, and Durufl's mystical Requiem, accompanied by internationalclass organist Janice Beck.
The Choral Union is a talent pool capable of performing choral music of every genre. In addition to choral masterworks, the Choral Union has performed Gershwin's Porgy and Bess with the BirminghamBloomfield Symphony Orchestra, and other musical theater favorites with Erich Kunzel and the DSO at Meadow Brook.

VENUES Hill Auditorium
After an 18month $38.6million dollar reno?vation, which began on May 13, 2002, over?seen by Albert Kahn Associates, Inc. and historic preservation architects Quinn EvansArchitects, Hill Auditorium has reopened. Originally built in 1913, renovations have updated Hill's infra?structure and restored much of the interior to its original splendor. Exterior renovations include the reworking of brick paving and stone retaining wall areas, restoration of the south entrance plaza, the reworking of the west barri?erfree ramp and loading dock, and improve?ments to landscaping.
Interior renovations included the demolition of lowerlevel spaces to ready the area for future improvements, the creation of additional restrooms, the improvement of barrierfree circula?tion by providing elevators and an addition with ramps, the replacement of seating to increase patron comfort, introduction of barrierfree seating and stage access, the replacement of the?atrical performance and audiovisual systems, and the complete replacement of mechanical and electrical infrastructure systems for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning.
Reopened in January 2004, Hill Auditorium seats 3,538.
Power Center
The Power Center for the Performing Arts was bred from a realization that the University of Michigan had no adequate prosceniumstage theater for the performing arts. Hill Auditorium was too massive and technically limited for most productions, and the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre too small. The Power Center was built to supply this missing link in design and seating capacity.
In 1963, Eugene and Sadye Power, together with their son Philip, wished to make a major gift to the University, and amidst a list of University priorities was mentioned "a new the?ater." The Powers were immediately interested, realizing that state and federal government were
unlikely to provide financial support for the construction of a new theater.
Opening in 1971 with the world premiere of The Grass Harp (based on the novel by Truman Capote), the Power Center achieves the seemingly contradictory combination of providing a soaring interior space with a unique level of intimacy. Architectural features include two large spiral staircases leading from the orchestra level to the balcony and the wellknown mirrored glass panels on the exterior. The lobby of the Power Center features two handwoven tapestries: Modern Tapestry by Roy Lichtenstein and Volutes by Pablo Picasso.
The Power Center seats approximately 1,400 people.
Rackham Auditorium
Fifty years ago, chamber music concerts in Ann Arbor were a relative rarity, presented in an assortment of venues including University Hall (the precursor to Hill Auditorium), Hill Auditorium, Newberry Hall and the current home of the Kelsey Museum. When Horace H. Rackham, a Detroit lawyer who believed strongly in the importance of the study of human history and human thought, died in 1933, his will established the Horace H. Rackham and Mary A. Rackham Fund, which subsequently awarded the University of Michigan the funds not only to build the Horace H. Rackham Graduate School which houses Rackham Auditorium, but also to establish a $4 million endowment to further the development of graduate studies. Even more remarkable than the size of the gift, which is still considered one of the most ambi?tious ever given to higherlevel education, is the fact that neither of the Rackhams ever attended the University of Michigan.
Designed by architect William Kapp and architectural sculptor Corrado Parducci, Rackham Auditorium was quickly recognized as the ideal venue for chamber music. In 1941, UMS presented its first chamber music festival with the Musical Art Quartet of New York per?forming three concerts in as many days, and the current Chamber Arts Series was born in 1963.
Chamber music audiences and artists alike appreciate the intimacy, beauty and fine acoustics of the 1,129seat auditorium, which has been the location for hundreds of chamber music concerts throughout the years.
Michigan Theater
The historic Michigan Theater opened January 5, 1928 at the peak of the vaudeville movie palace era. Designed by Maurice Finkel, the 1,710seat theater cost around $600,000 when it was first built. As was the custom of the day, the theater was equipped to host both film and live stage events, with a fullsize stage, dressing rooms, an orchestra pit, and the Barton Theater Organ. At its opening the theater was acclaimed as the best of its kind in the country. Since 1979, the theater has been operated by the notforprofit Michigan Theater Foundation. With broad community support, the Foundation has raised over $8 million to restore and improve the Michigan Theater. The beautiful interior of the theater was restored in 1986. In the fall of 1999, the Michigan Theater opened a new 200seat screening room addition, which also included expanded restroom facili?ties for the historic theater. The gracious facade and entry vestibule was restored in 2000.
St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church
In June 1950, Father Leon Kennedy was appointed pastor of a new parish in Ann Arbor. Seventeen years later ground was broken to build a permanent church building, and on March 19, 1969 John Cardinal Dearden dedi?cated the new St. Francis of Assisi Church. Father James McDougal was appointed pastor in 1997.
St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church has grown from 248 families when it first started to more than 2,800 today. The present church seats 900 people and has ample free parking. In 1994 St. Francis purchased a splendid three manual "mechanical action" organ with 34 stops and 45 ranks, built and installed by Orgues Letourneau from Saint Hyacinthe, Quebec.
Through dedication, a commitment to superb liturgical music and a vision to the future, the parish improved the acoustics of the church building, and the reverberant sanctuary has made the church a gathering place for the enjoyment and contemplation of sacred a cappella choral music and early music ensembles.
EMU Convocation Center
An exciting new era in EMU athletics was set in motion in the fall of 1998 with the opening of the $29.6million Convocation Center. The BartonMalow Company along with the architectural firm Rossetti Associates of BirminghamThe Argos Group began construction on the campus facility in 1996. The Convocation Center opened its doors on December 9, 1998 with a seating capacity of 9,510 for centerstage entertainment events. UMS has presented special dance parties at the EMU Convocation Center nearly every April since 1998, and this year's popular concert fea?tures Orchestra Baobab on Saturday, April 17.
Burton Memorial Tower
Seen from miles away, Burton Memorial Tower is one of the most wellknown University of Michigan and Ann Arbor land?marks. Completed in 1935 and designed by Albert Kahn, the 10story tower is built of Indiana limestone with a height of 212 feet.
UMS administrative offices returned to their familiar home at Burton Memorial Tower in August 2001, following a year of significant renovations to the University landmark.
This current season marks the third year of the merger of the UMS Ticket Office and the University Productions Ticket Office. Due to this new partnership, the UMS walkup ticket window is now conveniently located at the Michigan League Ticket Office, on the north end of the Michigan League building at 911 North University Avenue. The UMS Ticket Office phone number and mailing address remains the same.

"Nothing is worse than curdled innocence.. .America, up to now, has operated with
a strange unwillingness to confront actual human nature." -William Bolcom
Note by the composer for the US pre?miere of Songs of Innocence and of Experience nearly 20 years ago to the day: April 11, 1984 in Hill Auditorium.
Ever since I was 17, when the reading of William Blake was to make a pro?found difference to my life, I have wanted to set the entire Songs of Innocence and of Experience to music. Several songs were actually completed in 1956 -"The Sick Rose," and the opening, revised, of the Songs of Innocence, are survivors of that time -and the work remained in my mind until 1973, when I moved to Ann Arbor to teach at the University of Michigan. I felt that I could simplify my life enough to be able to real?ize the cycle I had dreamed of for so long. Most of the work was completed in the years 197374 and 197982; the opening of the Songs of Experience was fully sketched in 1966 and several of the major songs date from the early and middle 1970s. The largest problem was the form the entire setting would take. It could not be a standard opera, and the stopping and starting that constantly bedevils the orato?rio form would prove fatal for 46 poems over an evening.
The final ordering of the Songs left by Blake, as will be seen, is quite different from the one I had become used to in my earliest reading. In the 1880s William Muir, an artist greatly involved with the revival of interest in Blake's engravings and paintings, actually printed some of the poet's works from the original copper?plates. He then (as Blake and his wife Catherine had done) handcolored them, although, to my mind, not as interestingly or vividly as had Blake himself. In Muir's edition of The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (1888) I found, by chance, in the appendix, an ordering of the Songs of Innocence and of Experience (reproduced in what looks very much like Blake's own hand).
Blake had presumably left this for his wife should anyone have wanted a further printing of the Songs, which had been one of the few of his engraved works that had had any sale. (Evidently no one asked Catherine Blake for a copy.)
This ordering, new to me, gave me what I needed in trying to find an overall shape to the work: a series of arches, in both subject and emotion, that marked the piece off into nine clear movements, each inhabiting a certain spir?itual climate and progressing ever further in "Shewing the Two Contrary States of the Human Soul." With slight changes I have used Blake's last ordering in my piece. I had always wanted to end the evening with "A Divine Image," which Blake had engraved and then rejected for the Experience cycle, and I revised the order of the last part to accommodate the poem.
The Blakean principle of contraries -"Without Contraries is no progression: Attraction and Repulsion, Reason and Energy, Love and Hate, are necessary to Human exis?tence." (The Marriage of Heaven and Hell) -would also dominate my approach to the work, particularly in matters of style. Current Blake research has tended to confirm what I had assumed from the first, that at every point Blake used his whole culture, past and present, highflown and vernacular, as sources for his many poetic styles. Throughout the entire Songs of Innocence and of Experience, exercises in ele?gant Drydenesque diction are placed cheek by jowl with ballads that could have come from one of the "songsters" of his day (small, popular books or pamphlets of words set to wellknown tunes, in the manner of John Gay's 1728 Beggar's Opera). It is as if many people from all walks of life are speaking, each in a different way. The apparent disharmony of each clash and juxtaposition eventually produces a deeper and more universal harmony, once the whole cycle is absorbed. All I did was to use the same stylistic point of departure as Blake in my musical settings.
If any one work of mine has been the chief source and progenitor of the others, I would have to say that this is it. My fascination with the synthesis of the most unlikely stylistic ele
ments dates from my knowledge and applica?tion of Blake's principle of contraries, and I have spent most of my artistic life in pursuit of this higher synthesis. In this work, through my settings, I have tried my best to make everything clear, I have used some music in the same way Blake used line and color, in order to illuminate the poems.
To me, William Blake is the most urgent of poets. What he says is as immediate as ever, but particularly to us. He came from an epoch of social change as total as ours, and, in the time of our deepest human crisis, we can learn from him whether we will survive as a planet. With clear and unjudging vision Blake saw where the human race was heading; it could be argued that the Songs of Innocence and of Experience may be the clearest explanation we have of what forces have brought us to where we are now. If there is any solution, it is only through acceptance and understanding of our own nature, and if I have caused a more careful lis?tening to Blake's message, then my works over a span of 25 years will not have been in vain.
-William Bolcom, 1984
Recollections on the Twentieth Anniversary of Songs of Innocence and of Experience
After the US premiere of this work in this auditorium (the world's first performances had taken place January 8 and 9, 1984 with the Stuttgart Opera Orchestra) there have been 12 performances of Songs of Innocence and of Experience: at Grant Park in Chicago with Gustav Meier, who had conduct?ed the University of Michigan performance; with the Brooklyn Philharmonic under Lukas Foss; with the Saint Louis Symphony, both there and in New York, and the BBC
Symphony in London also under tonight's con?ductor Leonard Slatkin; and with the Pacific Symphony in Costa Mesa in Southern California under former Ann Arborite Carl St. Clair. A piece of its sheer size cannot hope to be played too often, and I am still amazed, 20 years later, that it has been heard all these times.
I was once afraid it would never be heard or even finished. Although parts of Songs date from almost 50 years ago, I certainly did not (and economically could not) work on it steadi?ly; Songs is one of those works one does with?out commission. Finding time and relative peace to compose it in the sheer allday effort to survive freelance in New York had proved impossible. When we came here, finally I was able to put the piece together; of course I did not realize that my wife Joan Morris and I would still be in Ann Arbor 30something years later!
You will notice many instruments unusual to the orchestra. I love writing for the "modern" symphony orchestra, but often I am confronted

with the sad fact that its disposition -the term for its total instrumentation -has hardly evolved since World War I. (Up until then the orchestra admitted instrument after instrument when players in each attained a certain level of proficiency; why the subsequent inertia has occurred is a subject best explored elsewhere, but it would seem likely that any organization as codified, as rigidly delineated as today's orchestra is in danger of disappearing.) The University of Michigan School of Music provid?ed a possible escape from this unevolved orchestra. A rough demographic analysis of the student population taken in the aggregate yields a potential orchestra including saxophones, expanded percussion and brass, and electric instruments; all these are represented onstage along with the varied musical styles these instruments and their players bring to our new orchestra.
More important, even though Stuttgart has had the world premieres, Songs of Innocence and of Experience has been primarily meant to be a work involving our whole School of Music. (A school of our size could fall too easily into
watertight departmental thinking on the part of both faculty and students; what a shame not to get to know and collaborate with other kinds of musicians, or actors, or dancers, in one's learn?ing years!) In the chorus of a St. Matthew Passion performance when a student in Seattle, I experienced a deep feeling of oneness with the whole community of musicians onstage that permeated my soul; we were singers and instru?mentalists, each from different disciplines, brought spiritually together by Bach's music. I vowed someday to write something that could afford such an experience to students after me, that would permit a true bringing together of many kinds of performers; the hope is that the greater understanding of ourselves that Blake leads us toward in this cycle will thus be experi?enced here communally, on and offstage. The knowledge these poems give us is often fright?ening, but it makes us free and in the end gives us joy.

A Listener's Guide to William Bolcom's Songs of Innocence and of Experience
By Joseph Horowitz
Who was William Blake William Blake was born in London in 1757 and died there in 1826. He had no schooling past the age of 10 -around the time he saw a tree filled with angels. At 14 he was apprenticed to the trade of engraving. When he was 30 his beloved younger brother Robert died; William witnessed his spirit rise from his body ("clap?ping its hands for joy"). Robert returned in a vision to inspire William to create, through his engraver's art, "illuminated books," printed in color or painted in watercolor over prints in a single tint. These unique volumes, combining text and pictorial decoration, were also individ?ually unique, each edition colored for a private customer. They afforded Blake a modest income and sporadic recognition.
Blake the man was hightempered and excitable, with (according to a contemporary report) "the look of one who can do all things but hesitate." Influenced by American and French Revolutions, he mistrusted authority and grew indignant at evidence of social injus?tice. He was widely read in philosophy and poetry. His visions of spirits or angels accompa?nied him daily and he spoke of them plainly. He was perceived by some as tainted by mad?ness, as an object of sympathy or pity by others.
He is widely regarded as one of the leading British poets of his time and a painter of world consequence. He rejected oil paints in favor the engraver's clean outlines. He identified art with Christianity, of which his understanding was unorthodox. The Bible furnished many of his subjects.
What are the Songs of Innocence and of
Experience7.
Blake's intention was to unite the "labors of the
Artist, the Poet, and Musician." He sang his
lyrics in addition to illustrating them.
The Songs of Innocence, produced in 1789, were his first considerable exercise in "illumi?nated printing." The childlike simplicity of these verses mirrors one aspect of Blake's nature. The Songs of Experience of 1793 are
darker in tone and more opaque in meaning. In 1794 -the height of the French Terror -Blake issued in tandem the Songs of Innocence and of Experience, "Shewing the Contrary States of the Human Soul." The ordering, and even the number of individual poems, changed in all but five of 28 printings of what would become his bestknown work.
What is William Bolcom's message Blake's poem magnetized Bolcom for at least two reasons. The first is that William Blake, like Bolcom, sings "high" and "low:" his influences include the Bible and folk verse. Bolcom's twoandahalf hour setting of the Songs of Innocence and of Experience uses a huge orchestra supplemented by an electric guitar, keyboard, and two electric violins; a chorus, madrigal chorus, and children's chorus; and a group of soloists including country, rock, and folk singers. As the listener will discover with delight and amazement, his purpose is not maximum sound but maximum diversity: marches, carols, barroom ballads; rock and countryandwestern strains; and nontonal avantgardisms all convey an American melting pot complete with certain original British ingredients.
This multiplicity of styles conveys both an American reality and -Bolcom's second reason for setting Blake -a message about America. Bolcom's decision to place last "A Divine Image" -a poem Blake eventually dropped from the cycle -says it all:
Cruelty has a Human Heart, And Jealousy a Human Face; Terror the Human Form Divine, And Secrecy the Human Dress.
"Take the bad with the good," is William Bolcom's message. As his music makes clear, Bolcom's Songs of Innocence are less innocent than Blake's: the whole of his musical tapestry is invested with Experience. And, in Bolcom's cosmos, Experience teaches that Innocence -American innocence -is both false and dan?gerous. The composer comments: "Nothing is worse than curdled innocence. Cynicism is at least informed by brokenheartedness: by a form of knowledge. It's wonderful in early life to be straightforward and uncomplicated. But you have to grow up. America, up to now, has
operated with a strange unwillingness to con?front actual human nature. Our hard work ethic, our Puritanism are ultimately simplistic. We're a whole nation of innocents, thinking in black and white, conserving nostalgia for the world as it never was. The whole point of Blake's dichotomy between innocence and experience is to show a way to deal with these conflicts and accept them."
Of composing Songs of Innocence and of Experience over a multiyear span, Bolcom comments: "At first, I kept coming up with these settings that didn't fit together stylistically. A conversation with John Cage was what really got me feeling that such a strong impulse was best served by simply seeing where it took me. I was interviewing him for three hours on a local radio station in Seattle. And I was going through this stylistic problem at a time when there was a moral imperative among composers that tonality was dead. I was having trouble resolving my various selves. Cage asked me, 'How are you doing compositionally' And I said that I was tortured by conflicts and choic?es. And he said, 'Some people divide the world into things good and bad. Other people take the whole world in and let their inner organism decide.' This gave me a way to deal with these conflicts and accept them. As Walt Whitman said: 'I am big. I contain multitudes.'"
An overview of the piece Bolcom's Songs of Innocence comprises three parts. His Songs of Experience -almost twice as long -comprises six parts.
In Songs of Innocence, "The Chimney Sweeper," in part two, foreshadows darker "Experience" to come. The following song, "The Divine Image," signifies in Bolcom's view a futile effort "to hold onto an older notion that everything is sweet and nice." "The Little Boy Lost," the penultimate song of part three, opens a Pandora's box that cannot be shut.
Bolcom's Songs of Experience begins with the unresolved discord of the "Voice of the Bard" and "Earth's Answer." "A Little Girl Lost," in part five, and "London," beginning part six, are climactically anguished. "A Divine Image," com?ing last, is a final reality check: it is the lesson of Experience that there is no return to Innocence.
Listening Signposts Songs of Innocence
Part 1: The music we hear is not innocent but experienced -"fast and wild," says the score. Is this the state of nature The human condition Whatever it may be, a cosmos of disharmony underlies Bolcom's part one: it peeks through the cracks between songs and gradually dissi?pates. The Songs of Innocence -the happy piper, the laughing children, the little lamb -are presented as a palliative or distraction: not the experiential base, but an overlay. "The Little Black Boy," ending part one, is Blake condemn?ing slavery: the African child attains God with?out formal Christian instruction. Though Blake's views were liberal for his time and place, many readers of today will find God's whiteness disturbing. Bolcom (who here reads "white?ness" as "purity," not race) sets the poem as black music: his Black Boy does not copy the white man's song.
Part 2: The madrigal singing group of "Laughing Song," in its first appearance, links Bolcom's many American styles to English fore?bears. In "The Nurse's Song," Innocence mates with the tuneful simplicity of folksong. "The Chimney Sweeper," as situated by Bolcom in a Dickensian music hall, stresses the "coffins of black" of Tom's nightmare, not the happiness and warmth of his awakening. The composer even adds a pathetic postlude: Tom walks off?stage softly exclaiming "Weep! Weep!" "The Divine Image," coming next, seeks the human in the divine -and yet remains shadowed by Tom's distress.
Part 3: The Nocturne, a prelude, is literal: night sounds: a foreshadowing. In "Night," the lion lies down with the lamb: a Peaceable Kingdom here drawn less than peacefully. In "The Little Boy Lost," the Bartokian night sounds return, but menacingly. As reimaged by Bolcom, this image of anxious solitude -a nontonal Expressionist miasma -is no mere foil for "The Little Boy Found," with its loping rhythmandblues gait. The Coda, recalling the piper's tune of the Introduction, collapses back into the chaos with which all began.
Songs of Experience
Part 1: Songs of Innocence began in disharmony. The Introduction to Songs of Experience is even more fractious and "worldly:" a hoarse saxo?phone sings a postEdenic fanfare. The poems are now not only bleaker but more obscure. In "Hear the Voice of the Bard" the lapsed Earth is summoned to rise up and claim her destiny. "Earth's Answer," write the Blake scholars Robin Hamlyn and Michael Phillips, acknowledges the words of the Bard in the preceding poem, con?firming that verse's expression of confinement, while suggesting the possibility for hope." For William Bolcom, this "unresolved disagree?ment" between giver and receiver sets the tone of all to come. As a musicaldramatic fron?tispiece, the exchange is forbidding yet openended.
Part 2: "Nurse's Song" is Bolcom's one musical reprise: the guileless tune of the earlier, Innocent "Nurse's Song" returns to encounter words new and disturbing with some harmonic twists. "The Fly" miniaturizes man at fate's mercy. In "The Tyger," Bolcom rises to the chal?lenge of Blake's most famous lines, here chant?ed to thunderous jungle drums; the layered accretion of voices where "the stars threw down their spears" are master strokes. The madrigallike "Little Girl LostIn the Southern Clime," sensuously illustrated by Blake with erotic forms and pastel shades, is no existential trau?ma, but another Peaceable Kingdom, fleshier and more knowing than before. "The Little Girl Found" clinches this vision of earned repose: one part of the manyhued tapestry of Experience.
Part 3: "A Poison Tree," "The Sick Rose," and "Holy Thursday" portray a bleak landscape of the soul. "To Tirzah," a finale to the first half of Songs of Experience, is a frustratingly obscure verse, possibly written later than the others. Tirzah was the first capital of the northern kingdom of Israel; it is also the name of one of the five daughters of Zelophehad. According to the Blake scholar Andrew Lincoln: "She is a power that seeks to imprison humanity in a vision of the body as finite and corrupt. In addressing her ['Thou Mother of my Mortal part'] the speaker of this song claims to reject her vision."
Part 4: In some of Blake's orderings, "The Voice of the Ancient Bard" -of truth newborn and vanquished doubt -comes last; in Bolcom's ordering (derived from an 1818 printing a list Blake left for his widow in case of future orders), it is a fleeting moment, happier than most.
Part 5: "The Garden of Love" and "A Little Boy Lost" bristle with anger toward "priests" whose rules institutionalize faith as rigid and ortho?doxy; Blake, in contrast, trusts personal experi?ence. "A Little Girl Lost" -a collapse in com?munication between maiden and "white father" -drives Bolcom's setting to a climax of disso?nant explosions marked "Like screams!" In the composer's reading, this poem "epitomizes that life is full of thwarted desires." Closing this penultimate segment is a singular inspiration: an unaccompanied choral Vocalise (that is, music sung without a text) alternating soft "pa" sounds with eruptions of "wild 'laughter.'" The "harmonies" are clusters of unfixed pitches in between designated upper and lower notes. Bolcom comments: "I'd thought of some extra?terrestrial group of creatures watching us, bemusedly and amusedly, in our sufferings, much as children watch ant colonies between glass plates, and with the same amount of personal concern."
Part 6: "London" is here a vulgar Hollywood horror show of midnight streets. "Weep!" "Weep!"-its chimney sweeper's cry, first heard in Songs of Innocence, part two -recurs in "The Chimney Sweeper." "The Human Abstract" and "A Divine Image" both in their way argue the joint necessity of good and evil, innocence and experience. In between, an Interlude: Voces damandae (Screaming Voices) recalls the hoarse saxophone of the Introduction to Songs of Experience. The last music we hear is Jamaican: a reggae number. William Bolcom: "To me, the message of 'A Divine Image' is the importance of accepting the humanity of the worst of us. Reggae is a cheerful music set to dark and trenchant words: apocalyptic stuff with a happy beat, a curious dichotomy. It perfectly embodies Blake's nontragic acceptance of that which we are. He advises us to take the world for what it is instead of trying to make it something it is not."
The audience is politely asked to withhold applause until the end of each program half. Please do not applaud after the individual songs within each part.
Songs of Innocence and of Experience
Poetry by William Blake
Songs of Innocence Parti
1. Introduction
Piping down the valleys wild, Piping songs of pleasant glee, On a cloud I saw a child, And he laughing said to me:
"Pipe a song about a Lamb!" So I piped with a merry chear. "Piper, pipe that song again;" So I piped: he wept to hear.
"Drop thy pipe, thy happy pipe; Sing thy songs of happy chear:" So I sung the same again, While he wept with joy to hear.
"Piper, sit thee down and write In a book, that all may read." So he vanish'd from my sight, And I pluck'd a hollow reed,
And I made a rural pen, And I stain'd the water clear, And I wrote my happy songs, Every child may joy to hear.
2. The Ecchoing Green
The Sun does arise,
And make happy the skies;
The merry bells ring
To welcome the Spring;
The skylark and thrush,
The birds of the bush,
Sing lounder around
To the bells' chearful sound,
While our sports shall be seen
On the Ecchoing Green.
Old John, with white hair, Does laugh away care, Sitting under the oak, Among the old folk. They laugh at our play, And soon they all say: "Such,such were the joys When we all, girls & boys, In our youth time were seen On the Ecchoing Green."
Till the little ones, weary,
No more can be merry;
The sun does descend,
And our sports have an end.
Round the laps of their mothers
Many sisters and brothers,
Like birds in their nest,
Are ready for rest,
And sports no more seen
On the darkening Green.
3. The Lamb
Little Lamb, who made thee Dost thou know who made thee Gave thee life, & bid thee feed By the stream & o'er the mead; Gave thee clothing of delight, Softest clothing, wooly, bright; Gave thee such a tender voice, Making all the vales rejoice Little Lamb, who made thee Dost thou know who made thee
Little Lamb, I'll tell thee, Little Lamb, I'll tell thee, He is called by thy name, For he calls himself a Lamb. He is meek, & he is mild; He became a little child. I a child, & thou a lamb, We are called by his name. Little Lamb, God bless thee! Little Lamb, God bless thee!
4. The Shepherd
How sweet is the Shepherd's sweet lot! From the morn to the evening he strays; He shall follow his sheep all the day, And his tongue shall be filled with praise.
For he hears the lamb's innocent call, And he hears the ewe's tender reply; He is watchful while they are in peace, For they know when their Shepherd is nigh.
5. 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!
6. The Little Black Boy
My mother bore me in the southern wild, And I am black, but O! my soul is white; White as an angel is the English child, But I am black, as if bereav'd of light.
My mother taught me underneath a tree, And sitting down before the heat of day, She took me on her lap and kissed me, And pointing to the east, began to say:
"Look on the rising sun: there God does live, And gives his light, and gives his heat away; And flowers and trees and beasts and men
receive Comfort in morning, joy in the noonday.
"And we are put on earth a little space, That we may learn to bear the beams of love; And these black bodies and this sunburnt face Is but a cloud, and like a shady grove.
"For when our souls have learn'd the heat to
bear,
The cloud will vanish; we shall hear his voice, Saying: 'Come out from the grove, my love &
care, And round my golden tent like lambs rejoice."'
Thus did my mother say, and kissed me;
And thus I say to little English boy:
When I from black and he from white cloud
free, And round the tent of God like lambs we joy,
I'll shade him from the heat, till he can bear To lean in joy upon our father's knee; And then I'll stand and stroke his silver hair, And be like him, and he will then love me.
Part II
7. Laughing Song
When the green woods laugh with the voice
of joy,
And the dimpling stream runs laughing by; When the air does laugh with our merry wit, And the green hill laughs with the noise of it.
When the meadows laugh with lively green, And the grasshopper laughs in the merry scene, When Mary and Susan and Emily With their sweet round mouths sing "Ha, Ha, He!"
When the painted birds laugh in the shade, Where our table with cherries and nuts is
spread,
Come live & be merry, and join with me, To sing the sweet chorus of "Ha, Ha, He!"
8. Spring
Sound the Flute!
Now it's mute.
Birds delight
Day and Night;
Nightingale,
In the dale,
Lark in Sky,
Merrily,
Merrily, Merrily, to welcome in the Year.
Little Boy,
Full of joy;
Little Girl,
Sweet and small;
Cock does crow,
So do you;
Merry voice,
Infant noise,
Merrily, Merrily, to welcome in the Year.
Little Lamb,
Here I am;
Come and lick
my white neck;
Let me pull
your soft Wool;
Let me kiss
your soft face:
Merrily, Merrily, we welcome in the Year.
9. A Cradle Song
Sweet dreams, form a shade O'er my lovely infant's head; Sweet dreams of pleasant streams By happy, silent, moony beams.
Sweet sleep, with soft down Weave thy brows an infant crown. Sweep sleep, Angel mild, Hover o'er my happy child.
Sweet smiles, in the night Hover over my delight; Sweet smiles, Mother's smiles, All the livelong night beguiles.
Sweet moans, dovelike sighs, Chase not slumber from thy eyes. Sweet moans, sweeter smiles, All the dovelike moans beguiles.
Sleep, sleep, happy child, All creation slept and smil'd; Sleep, sleep, happy sleep, While o'er thee thy mother weep.
Sweet babe, in thy face Holy image I can trace. Sweet babe, once like thee, Thy maker lay and wept for me,
Wept for me, for thee, for all, When he was an infant small Thou his image ever see, Heavenly face that smiles on thee,
Smiles on thee, on me, on all; Who became an infant small. Infant smiles are his own smiles; Heaven & earth to peace beguiles.
10. Nurse's Song
When the voices of children are heard
on the green
And laughing is heard on the hill, My heart is at rest within my breast And everything else is still.
"Then come home, my children, the sun is
gone down
And the dews of night arise; Come, come, leave off play, and let us away Till the morning appears in the skies."
"No, no, let us play, for it is yet day And we cannot go to sleep; Besides, in the sky the little birds fly And the hills are all cover'd with sheep."
"Well, well, go & play till the light fades away And then go home to bed." The little ones leaped & shouted & laugh'd And all the hills echoed.
11. Holy Thursday
'T was on a Holy Thursday, their innocent faces
clean, The children walking two & two, in red & blue
& green, Greyheaded beadles walk'd before, with wands
as white as snow, Till into the high dome of Paul's they like
Thames' waters flow.
O what a multitude they seem'd, these flowers of London town!
Seated in companies they sit with radiance all their own.
The hum of multitudes was there, but multi?tudes of lambs,
Thousands of little boys & girls raising their innocent hands.
Now like a mighty wind they raise to heaven
the voice of song, Or like harmonious thunderings the seats of
Heaven among. Beneath them sit the aged men, wise
guardians of the poor; Then cherish pity, lest you drive an angel
from your door.
12. The Blossom
Merry, Merry Sparrow! Under leaves so green A happy Blossom Sees you swift as arrow Seek your cradle narrow Near my Bosom.
Pretty, Pretty Robin! Under leaves so green A happy Blossom Hears you sobbing, sobbing, Pretty, Pretty Robin, Near my Bosom.
13. The Chimney Sweeper
When my mother died I was very young, And my father sold me while yet my tongue Could scarcely cry "'weep! 'weep! 'weep! 'weep!" So your chimneys I sweep, & in soot I sleep.
There's little Tom Dacre, who cried when his head, That curl'd like a lamb's back, was shav'd: so I said "Hush, Tom! never mind it, for when your
head's bare You know that the soot cannot spoil your white
hair."
And so he was quiet, & that very night, As Tom was asleeping, he had such a sight! That thousands of sweepers, Dick, Joe, Ned, & Jack, Were all of them lock'd up in coffins of black.
And by came an Angel who had a bright key, And he open'd the coffins & set them all free; Then down a green plain leaping, laughing,
they run, And wash in a river, and shine in the Sun.
Then naked & white, all their bags left behind, They rise upon clouds and sport in the wind; And the Angel told Tom, if he'd be a good boy, He'd have God for his father, & never want joy.
And so Tom awoke; and we rose in the dark, And got with our bags & our brushes to work, Tho the morning was cold, Tom was happy
& warm, So if all do their duty they need not fear harm.
14. The Divine Image
To Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love All pray in their distress; And to these virtues of delight Return their thankfulness.
For Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love Is God, our father dear, And Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love Is Man, his child and care.
For Mercy has a human heart, Pity a human face, And Love, the human form divine, And Peace, the human dress.
Then every man, of every clime, That prays in his distress, Prays to the human form divine, Love, Mercy, Pity, Peace.
And all must love the human form, In heathen, turk, or jew; Where Mercy, Love, & Pity dwell There God is dwelling too.
Part HI
15. Night
The sun descending in the west, The evening star does shine; The birds are silent in their nest, And I must seek for mine. The moon like a flower In heaven's high bower, With silent delight Sits and smiles on the night.
Farewell, green fields and happy groves, Where flocks have took delight. Where lambs have nibbled, silent moves The feet of angels bright; Unseen they pour blessing And joy without ceasing, On each bud and blossom, And each sleeping bosom.
They look in every thoughtless nest, Where birds are cover'd warm; They visit caves of every beast, To keep them all from harm. If they see any weeping That should have been sleeping, They pour sleep on their head, And sit down by their bed.
When wolves and tygers howl for prey, They pitying stand and weep; Seeking to drive their thirst away, And keep them from the sheep; But if they rush dreadful, The angels, most heedful, Receive each mild spirit, New worlds to inherit.
And there the lion's ruddy eyes Shall flow with tears of gold, And pitying the tender cries, And walking round the fold, Saying "Wrath, by his meekness, And by his health, sickness Is driven away From our immortal day.
"And now beside thee, bleating lamb, I can lie down and sleep; Or think on him who bore thy name, Graze after thee and weep.
For, wash'd in life's river, My bright mane for ever Shall shine like the gold As I guard o'er the fold."
16. A Dream
Once a dream did weave a shade O'er my Angelguarded bed, That an Emmet lost its way Where on grass methought I lay.
Troubled, 'wilder'd, and forlorn, Dark, benighted, travelworn, Over many a tangled spray, All heartbroke I heard her say:
"O, my children! do they cry Do they hear their father sigh Now they look abroad to see: Now return and weep for me."
Pitying, I drop'd a tear; But I saw a glowworm near, Who replied: "What wailing wight Calls the watchman of the night
"I am set to light the ground, While the beetle goes his round: Follow now the beetle's hum; Little wanderer, hie thee home."
17. On Another's Sorrow
Can I see another's woe, And not be in sorrow too Can I see another's grief, And not seek for kind relief
Can I see a falling tear, And not feel my sorrow's share Can a father see his child Weep, nor be with sorrow filPd
Can a mother sit and hear An infant groan an infant fear No, no! never can it be! Never, never can it be!
And can he who smiles on all Hear the wren with sorrows small, Hear the small bird's grief & care, Hear the woes that infants bear,
And not sit beside the nest, Pouring pity in their breast; And not sit the cradle near, Weeping tear on infant's tear;
And not sit both night & day, Wiping all our tears away O, no! never can it be! Never, never can it be!
He doth give his joy to all; He becomes an infant small; He becomes a man of woe; He doth feel the sorrow too.
Think not thou canst sigh a sigh And thy maker is not by; Think not thou canst weep a tear And thy maker is not near.
O! he gives to us his joy That our grief he may destroy; Till our grief is fled & gone He doth sit by us and moan.
18. The Little Boy Lost
"Father! father! where are you going O do not walk so fast. Speak, father, speak to your little boy, Or else I shall be lost."
The night was dark, no father was there; The child was wet with dew; The mire was deep, & the child did weep, And away the vapour flew.
19. The Little Boy Found
The little boy lost in the lonely fen, Led by the wand'ring light, Began to cry; but God, ever nigh, Appear'd like his father in white.
He kissed the child & by the hand led And to his mother brought, Who in sorrow pale, thro' the lonely dale, Her little boy weeping sought.

1. Hear the Voice of the Bard
Hear the voice of the Bard!
Who Present, Past, & Future sees;
Whose ears have heard
The Holy Word
That walk'd among the ancient trees,
Calling the lapsed Soul,
And weeping in the evening dew;
That might controll
The starry pole,
And fallen, fallen light renew!
"O Earth, O Earth, return!
Arise from out the dewy grass;
Night is worn,
And the morn
Rises from the slumberous mass.
"Turn away no more;
Why wilt thou turn away
The starry floor,
The wat'ry shore,
Is giv'n thee till the break of day."
2. Earth's Answer
Earth rais'd up her head
From the darkness dread & drear.
Her light fled,
Stony dread!
And her locks cover'd with grey despair.
"Prison'd on wat'ry shore,
Starry Jealousy does keep my den:
Cold and hoar,
Weeping o'er,
I hear the father of the ancient men.
"Selfish father of men!
Cruel, jealous, selfish fear!
Can delight,
Chain'd in night,
The virgins of youth and morning bear
"Does spring hide its joy
When buds and blossoms grow
Does the sower
Sow by night,
Or the plowman in darkness plow
"Break this heavy chain
That does freeze my bones around.
Selfish! vain!
Eternal bane!
That free Love with bondage bound."
Part II
3. Nurse's Song
When the voices of children are heard on the
green
And whisp'rings are in the dale, The days of my youth rise fresh in my mind, My face turns green and pale.
Then come home, my children, the sun is gone
down,
And the dews of night arise; Your spring & your day are wasted in play, And your winter and night in disguise.
4. The Fly
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.
5. The Tyger
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright, In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry
In what distant deeps or skies Burnt the fire of thine eyes On what wings dare he aspire What the hand dare sieze the fire
And what shoulder, & what art, Could twist the sinews of thy heart And when thy heart began to beat, What dread hand & what dread feet
What the hammer what the chain In what furnace was thy brain What the anvil what dread grasp Dare its deadly terrors clasp
When the stars threw down their spears, And water'd heaven with their tears, Did he smile his work to see Did he who made the Lamb make thee
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye Dare frame thy fearful symmetry
6. The Little Girl Lost
In futurity
I prophetic see
That the earth from sleep
(Grave the sentence deep)
Shall arise and seek For her maker meek; And the desart wild Become a garden mild.
6a. In the Southern Clime
In the southern clime, Where the summer's prime Never fades away, Lovely Lyca lay.
Seven summers old Lovely Lyca told; She had wander'd long Hearing wild birds' song.
"Sweet sleep, come to me Underneath this tree. Do father, mother weep, Where can Lyca sleep
"Lost in desart wild Is your little child. How can Lyca sleep If her mother weep
"If her heart does ake Then let Lyca wake; If my mother sleep, Lyca shall not weep.
"Frowning, frowning night, O'er this desart bright Let thy moon arise While I close my eyes."
Sleeping Lyca lay While the beasts of prey, Come from caverns deep, View'd the maid asleep.
The kingly lion stood And the virgin view'd, Then he gamboll'd round O'er the hollow'd ground.
Leopards, tygers, play Round her as she lay, While the lion old Bow'd his mane of gold.
And her bosom lick, And upon her neck From his eyes of flame Ruby tears there came;
While the lioness Loos'd her slender dress, And naked they convey'd To caves the sleeping maid.
7. The Little Girl Found
All the night in woe Lyca's parents go Over vallies deep, While the desarts weep.
Tired and woebegone, Hoarse with making moan, Arm in arm seven days They trac'd the desart ways.
Seven nights they sleep Among the shadows deep, And dream they see their child Starv'd in desart wild.
Pale, thro' pathless ways The fancied image strays Famish'd, weeping, weak, With hollow piteous shriek.
Rising from unrest, The trembling woman prest With feet of weary woe: She could no further go.
In his arms he bore
Her, arm'd with sorrow sore;
Till before their way
A couching lion lay.
Turning back was vain: Soon his heavy mane Bore them to the ground. Then he stalk'd around,
Smelling to his prey; But their fears allay When he licks their hands, And silent by them stands.
They look upon his eyes Fill'd with deep surprise, And wondering behold A spirit arm'd in gold.
On his head a crown, On his shoulders down Flow'd his golden hair. Gone was all their care.
"Follow me," he said; "Weep not for the maid; In my palace deep Lyca lies asleep."
Then they followed Where the vision led, And saw their sleeping child Among the tygers wild.
To this day they dwell In a lonely dell; Nor fear the wolvish howl Nor the lion's growl.

8. The Clod and the Pebble
"Love seeketh not Itself to please,
Nor for itself hath any care,
But for another gives its ease,
And builds a Heaven in Hell's despair."
So sang a little Clod of Clay Trodden with the cattle's feet, But a Pebble of the brook Warbled out these metres meet:
"Love seeketh only Self to please, To bind another to Its delight, Joys in another's loss of ease, And builds a Hell in Heaven's despite."
9. The Little Vagabond
Dear Mother, dear Mother, the Church is cold, But the Alehouse is healthy & pleasant & warm; Besides I can tell where I am used well, Such usage in Heaven will never do well.
But if at the Church they would give us some Ale, And a pleasant fire our souls to regale, We'd sing and we'd pray all the livelong day, Nor ever once wish from the Church to stray.
Then the Parson might preach, & drink, & sing, And we'd be as happy as birds in the spring; And modest Dame Lurch, who is always at Church,
Would not have bandy children, nor fasting, nor birch.
And God, like a father rejoicing to see His children as pleasant and happy as he, Would have no more quarrel with the Devil or
the Barrel, But kiss him, & give him both drink and
apparel.
10. Holy Thursday
Is this a holy thing to see
In a rich and fruitful land,
Babes reduc'd to misery,
Fed with cold and usurous hand
Is that trembling cry a song Can it be song of joy And so many children poor It is a land of poverty!
And their sun does never shine, And their fields are bleak & bare, And their ways are fill'd with thorns: It is eternal winter there.
For wheree'er the sun does shine, And wheree'er the rain does fall, Babe can never hunger there, Nor poverty the mind appall.
11. A Poison Tree
I was angry with my friend:
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.
And I water'd it in fears, Night & morning with my tears; And I sunned it with smiles, And with soft deceitful wiles.
And it grew both day and night, Till it bore an apple bright; And my foe beheld it shine, And he knew that it was mine,
And into my garden stole
When the night had veil'd the pole:
In the morning glad I see
My foe outstretch'd beneath the tree.
12. 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 beguil'd!
And I wept both night and day, And he wip'd 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 blush'd rosy red; I dried my tears, & arm'd my fears With ten thousand shields and spears.
Soon my Angel came again: I was arm'd, he came in vain; For the time of youth was fled, And grey hairs were on my head.
13. The Sick Rose
O Rose, thou art sick! The invisible worm That flies in the night, In the howling storm,
Has found out thy bed Of crimson joy, And his dark secret love Does thy life destroy.
14. To Tirzah
Whate'er is Born of Mortal Birth Must be consumed with the Earth To rise from Generation free: Then what have I to do with thee
The Sexes sprung from Shame & Pride, Blow'd in the morn, in evening died; But Mercy chang'd Death into Sleep; The Sexes rose to work & weep.
Thou, Mother of my Mortal part, With cruelty didst mould my Heart, And with false selfdeceiving tears Didst bind my Nostrils, Eyes, & Ears:
Didst close my Tongue in senseless clay, And me to Mortal Life betray. The Death of Jesus set me free: Then what have I to do with thee

15. The Voice of the Ancient Bard
Youth of delight, come hither,
And see the opening morn,
Image of truth new born.
Doubt is fled, & clouds of reason,
Dark disputes & artful teazing.
Folly is an endless maze,
Tangled roots perplex her ways.
How many have fallen there!
They stumble all night over bones of the dead,
And feel they know not what but care,
And wish to lead others, when they should be led.
16. My Pretty Rose Tree
A flower was offer'd to me, Such a flower as May never bore; But I said "I've a Pretty Rosetree," And I passed the sweet flower o'er.
Then I went to my Pretty Rosetree, To tend her by day and by night; But my Rose turn'd away with jealousy, And her thorns were my only delight.
17. Ah! SunFlower
Ah, Sunflower! weary of time, Who countest the steps of the Sun, Seeking after that sweet golden clime Where the traveller's journey is done:
Where the Youth pined away with desire And the pale Virgin shrouded in snow Arise from their graves, and aspire Where my Sunflower wishes to go.
18. The Lilly
The modest Rose puts forth a thorn, The humble Sheep a threat'ning horn; While the Lilly white shall in Love delight, Nor a thorn, nor a threat, stain her beauty bright.

19. The Garden of Love
I went to the Garden of Love, And saw what I never had seen: A Chapel was built in the midst, Where I used to play on the green.
And the gates of this Chapel were shut, And "Thou shalt not" writ over the door; So I turn'd to the Garden of Love That so many sweet flowers bore;
And I saw it was filled with graves,
And tombstones where flowers should be;
And Priests in black gowns were walking thei
rounds, And binding with briars my joys & desires.
20. A Little Boy Lost
"Nought loves another as itself, Nor venerates another so, Nor is it possible to Thought A greater than itself to know:
"And Father, how can I love you
Or any of my brothers more
I love you like the little bird
That picks up crumbs around the door."
The Priest sat by and heard the child, In trembling zeal he siez'd his hair: He led him by his little coat, And all admir'd the Priestly care.
And standing on the altar high, "Lo! what a fiend is here!" said he, "One who sets reason up for judge Of our most holy Mystery."
The weeping child could not be heard, The weeping parents wept in vain; They strip'd him to his little shirt, And bound him in an iron chain;
And burn'd him in a holy place, Where many had been burn'd before: The weeping parents wept in vain. Are such things done on Albion's shore
21. A Little Girl Lost
Children of the future Age Reading this indignant page, Know that in a former time Love! sweet Love! was thought a crime.
In the Age of Gold,
Free from winter's cold,
Youth and maiden bright
To the holy light,
Naked in the sunny beams delight.
Once a youthful pair,
Fill'd with softest care,
Met in garden bright
Where the holy light
Had just remov'd the curtains of the night.
There, in rising day,
On the grass they play;
Parents were afar,
Strangers came not near,
And the maiden soon forgot her fear.
Tired with kisses sweet,
They agree to meet
When the silent sleep
Waves o'er heaven's deep,
And the weary tired wanderers weep.
To her father white
Came the maiden bright;
But his loving look,
Like the holy book,
All her tender limbs with terror shook.
"Ona! pale and weak!
To thy father speak:
O, the trembling fea:!
O, the dismal care!
That shakes the blossoms of my hoary hair."
22. Infant Sorrow
My mother groan'd! my father wept. Into the dangerous world I leapt: Helpless, naked, piping loud: Like a fiend hid in a cloud.
Struggling in my father's hands, Striving against my swadling bands, Bound and weary I thought best To sulk upon my mother's breast.

23. London
I wander thro" each charter'd street, Near where the charter'd Thames does flow, And mark in every face I meet Marks of weakness, marks of woe.
In every cry of every Man, In every Infant's cry of fear, In every voice, in every ban, The mindforg'd manacles I hear.
How the Chimneysweepers cry Every black'ning Church appalls; And the hapless Soldier's sigh Runs in blood down Palace walls.
But most thro' midnight streets I hear
How the youthful Harlot's curse
Blasts the new born Infant's tear,
And blights with plagues the Marriage hearse.
24. The SchoolBoy
I love to rise in a summer morn When the birds sing on every tree; The distant huntsman winds his horn, And the skylark sings with me. O! what sweet company.
But to go to school in a summer morn, O! it drives all joy away; Under a cruel eye outworn, The little ones spend the day In sighing and dismay.
Ah! then at times I drooping sit, And spend many an anxious hour, Nor in my book can I take delight, Nor sit in learning's bower, Worn thro' with the dreary shower.
How can the bird that is born for joy
Sit in a cage and sing
How can a child, when fears annoy,
But droop his tender wing,
And forget his youthful spring
O! father & mother, if buds are nip'd And blossoms blown away, And if the tender plants are strip'd Of their joy in the springing day, By sorrow and care's dismay,
How shall the summer arise in joy,
Or the summer fruits appear
Or how shall we gather what griefs destroy,
Or bless the mellowing year,
When the blasts of winter appear
25. The Chimney Sweeper
A little black thing among the snow, Crying "'weep! 'weep!" in notes of woe! "Where are thy father & mother say" "They are both gone up to the church to pray.
"Because I was happy upon the heath, And smil'd among the winter's snow, They clothed me in the clothes of death, And taught me to sing the notes of woe.
"And because I am happy & dance & sing, They think they have done me no injury, And are gone to praise God & his Priest & King, Who make up a heaven of our misery."
26. The Human Abstract
Pity would be no more If we did not make somebody Poor; And Mercy no more could be If all were as happy as we.
And mutual fear brings peace, Till the selfish loves increase: Then Cruelty knits a snare, And spreads his baits with care.
He sits down with holy fears, And waters the grounds with tears; Then Humility takes its root Underneath his foot.
Soon spreads the dismal shade Of Mystery over his head; And the Catterpiller and Fly Feed on the Mystery.
And it bears the fruit of Deceit, Ruddy and sweet to eat; And the Raven his nest has made In its thickest shade.
The Gods of the earth and sea Sought thro' Nature to find this Tree; But their search was all in vain: There grows one in the Human Brain.
27. A Divine Image
Cruelty has a Human Heart, And Jealousy a Human Face; Terror the Human Form Divine, And Secrecy the Human Dress.
The Human Dress is forged Iron, The Human Form a fiery Forge, The Human Face a Furnace seal'd, The Human Heart is hungry Gorge.
