Milton: And did those feet in ancient time
by William Blake
1 And did those feet in ancient time
2 Walk upon England's mountains green?
3 And was the holy Lamb of God
4 On England's pleasant pastures seen?
5 And did the Countenance Divine
6 Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
7 And was Jerusalem builded here
8 Among these dark Satanic mills?
9 Bring me my bow of burning gold:
10 Bring me my arrows of desire:
11 Bring me my spear: O clouds unfold!
12 Bring me my chariot of fire.
13 I will not cease from mental fight,
14 Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
15 Till we have built Jerusalem
16 In England's green and pleasant land.
