[Lyric] The Echoing Green (Principium)

How sweet the spring of the echoing green
All join in her return
The oak tree sitting fast asleep
Now stirring sense burn

A shepherdess is entering this pleasant, sunlit vale
This virgin born of mother earth, so gentle, kind and frail

Like unto a watry bow
Like unto a parting cloud
I shall fade away, n’er to be again

Never trusted paradise
Never wanted to be blind
How can death still haunt me in this paradise?
Won’t you come?

It’s calling me back to the green again
My love, the echoing green

Tiger, tigеr burning bright
In the forest of the night
Could thy fеarful frame be like unto mine
In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
Could thy dreadful hand be the same as mine?
How the lion, how the lamb?

Please, oh my love
Do not do this I’m crying
All that you want can be paid for with less
You will never really be free until you explore it
Even if the toll is too high to bear with a grin

But soon this soul so pure at heart will be taken asunder
So pray you children while ye may
That innocence might last another day
