I turned a famous Victorian poem into a Song (I Folked it up!) Auguries of Innocence William Blake

this song is composed of exerts from William Blake's poem with a folksy twist I am in no way a professional musician its simply for a little fun. more crafty videos soon I promise
Auguries of Innocence by William Blake 1803
tune and song by Bonny
To see the world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower.
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand an eternity in an hour
the owl that calls upon the night, speaks to the unbelievers fright,
he who should hurt the little Wren shall never be beloved by men.
A truth that's told with bad intent, beats all lies you can invent.
as right it should be so, for man was made for joy and for woe.
Joy and woe are woven fine, A clothing for the soul divine.
under every grief and pine runs a thread of silken twine.
If the sun and moon should doubt they'd immediately go out,
to be in passion you good may do, but no good if a passion is in you.
The whore and gambler by the state, licence'd build that nations state.
the harlots cry from street to street. shall weave old England's winding sheet.
The winner shout the losers curse, dance before Old England hearse.
Every night and every morn some to misery are born.
Every morn and every night, some are born to sweet delight.
Some are born to sweet delight, some are born to endless night.

You may not be a professional singer but not many professional singers would sound that good without accompaniment. I'd offer to do backing on guitar but I have my arm in a sling right now and It's gonna be a while before I can play again.

[@bonny8427]

wow thankyou. that's a wonderful offer, ive never done stuff like this before i just enjoy the process ive been recording stuff for a while but never show people its kinda a hobby (the only instrument i play is woodwind so singing and playing is difficult at best, at worst you see god) . sorry about your arm hope it heals up well, id love to jam with other people sometime it would be fun.

@@bonny8427 I think you have a real talent, which you should develop at your own pace. The last thing you want is a manager and a producer telling you to do it over again in a studio. Keep doing what you do. There isn't much of a market for folk at the moment but there was a time when All About Eve could get a slot on Top Of The Pops.

@@bmmaaate Thankyou I never considered it a talent tbh but like I said I’m a shy singer . I’d be happy for people use my songs and stuff but I don’t have a desire to be professional honestly I get wicked stage fright 😅 thanks for the advice I’m thinking about learning more to do with it music wise I’d like to be able to add accompaniment and such, one day I hope.
