 Introduction to the Songs of Innocence’ is the first poem in William Blake’s collection of poetry, the ‘Songs of Innocence’, written in 1789. The poems in this collection express a naive, childlike view of salvation, as most of them are addressed to children. This poem, titled ‘Introduction,’ sets the tone for the entire collection. The poet is projected as a visionary who is divinely inspired by an angel represented by the child. It seems in the child’s simple perspective of life, the world is beautiful, and Jesus died for our sins. ‘Introduction’ also reflects the process of poetic composition.

INTRODUCTION 

 
Piping down the valleys wild 
Piping songs of pleasant glee 
On a cloud I saw a child. 
And he laughing said to me. 
Pipe a song about a Lamb; 
So I piped with merry chear, 
Piper pipe that song again— 
So I piped, he wept to hear. 
Drop thy pipe thy happy pipe 
Sing thy songs of happy chear, 
So I sung the same again 
While he wept with joy to hear 
Piper sit thee down and write 
In a book that all may read— 
So he vanish'd from my sight. 
And I pluck'd a hollow reed. 
And I made a rural pen, 
And I stain'd the water clear, 
And I wrote my happy songs 
Every child may joy to hear
