Songs of Innocence and of Experience: Songs of Experience...
Songs of Innocence and of Experience, by William Blake, [1789-1794]
My mother groand! my father wept.
Into the dangerous world I leapt:
Helpless, naked, piping loud:
Like a fiend hid in a cloud.
Struggling in my fathers hands:
Striving against my swadling bands:
Bound and weary I thought best
To sulk upon my mothers breast.
