William Blake’s “Infant Sorrow” SP 2016 by ProfBBD Lyrics

Genre: misc | Year: 2016

My mother groaned, 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 swaddling bands
Bound and weary, I thought best
To sulk upon my mother's breast
