A Robin Redbreast in a cage,
Puts all Heaven in a rage.
A skylark wounded on the wing
Doth make a cherub cease to sing.
He who shall hurt the little wren
Shall never be beloved by men.
All those who go around shooting our feathered friends should read this.
nice poem i so much love it, , , , ''ab'' ab rhymtic, , , birds are described as something treasure in nature
What can I say - I absolutely love this style, and this poem was done particularly well.
Harm to birds of beauty never brings joy to any! Wonderful message about the beauty of freedom metaphorically through birds in Nature by Blake is beautiful read and muse!
I agree and disagree! Literally, I disagree! Metaphorically, I agree very much! And William Blake being a Christian, I think he wants the reader to understand metaphorically!
ah, what a moral keep announcing its significance, as if some revelations translated. each couplet itself is very much explanatory. each like like an ocean of wisdom for those who think. God bless.
Heaven and cherub- hurting the innocent means closing the door of heaven lovely nice
The immense value of life is expressed in these three couplets; typical of Blake. Reminded me of 'The Fly' by Blake. Short and sweet, but of immense significance. Love life, preserve life, and respect freedom of other beings.
So simple yet so beautiful - I adore birds, so this really touches my heart.

Three Things Not to Forget A ground up cow tastes like good fun when cooked and served upon a bun. Some strips of pig will make you beg for more beside a chicken egg. A turkey, well, is quite a beast carved up on one’s Thanksgiving feast.
