ralph vaughan williams - the piper (introduction) lyrics

Loading...

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 sang 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 vanished 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

- ralph vaughan williams
