How sweet I'd roam (William Blake)

from Sonora / Strange reggae by Mournful Skank

about

(2015)
kind of response to friends who told me i never played in major chords ;)
the clav' is a chicco for kids, sampled and pitched to "compose" my line.

lyrics

(I cut parts of the poem of W. Blake)

How sweet i'd roam from field to field
tasting all the summer's pride
'till i, the prince of love beheld
who in the sunny beams did glide

He chewed lillies for my hair
blushing roses for my brows
he let me through his gardens fair
where all his golden pleasures grow

How sweet i'd roam from field to field
tasting all the summer's pride
'till i, the prince of love beheld
who in the sunny beams did glide

With sweet may dues my wings were wet
Phoebus fired my vocal rage
he caught me in his silken net
shut me in his golden cage

He loves to sit and hear me sing
then's laughing and plays with me
then streches out my golden wings
and mocks my loss of liberty
