The Little Vagabond / Маленький бродяжка

Songs of Experienceby William Blake, 1794 The Little Vagabond t    Dear Mother, dear Mother, the Church is cold, t But the Ale-house is healthy & pleasant & warm; Besides I can tell where I am use'd well, t Such usage in heaven will never do well. t But if at the Church they would give us some Ale. 5 And a pleasant fire, our souls to regale; We'd sing and we'd pray, all the live-long day; Nor ever once wish from the Church to stray, Then the Parson might preach & drink & sing. And we'd be as happy as birds in the spring: 10 And modest dame Lurch, who is always at Church, Would not have bandy children nor fasting nor birch. And God like a father rejoicing to see, t His children as pleasant and happy as he: Would have no more quarrel with the Devil or the Barrel 15 But kiss him & give him both drink and apparel. t
