[Intro : Spoken words , Poetry Reading]

The Chimney Sweeper

by
William Blake

[Verse : Spoken Words , Poetry Reading]
When my mother died I was very young，
And my father sold me while yet my tongue
Could scarcely cry 
“ 'weep! 'weep! 'weep! 'weep!”
So your chimneys I sweep，
and in soot I sleep.

[Verse : Spoken Words , Poetry Reading]
There's little Tom Dacre，
who cried when his head，
That curl'd like a lamb's back，
was shav'd，so I said
”Hush，Tom! never mind it，
for when your head's bare
You know that the soot cannot spoil your white hair.”

[Verse : Spoken Words , Poetry Reading]
And so he was quiet，
and that very night
As Tom was a-sleeping，
he had such a sight!
That thousands of sweepers，
Dick，Joe，Ned，and Jack，
Were all of them lock'd up in coffins of black.

[Verse : Spoken Words , Poetry Reading]
And by came an Angel who had a bright key，
And he open'd the coffins and set them all free;
Then down a green plain leaping，
laughing，they run，
And wash in a river，
and shine in the sun.

[Verse : Spoken Words , Poetry Reading]
Then naked and white，
all their bags left behind，
They rise upon clouds and sport in the wind;
And the Angel told Tom，
if he'd be a good boy，
He'd have God for his father，
and never want joy.

[Verse : Spoken Words , Poetry Reading]
And so Tom awoke，
and we rose in the dark，
And got with our bags and our brushes to work.
Though the morning was cold，
Tom was happy and warm;
So if all do their duty they need not fear harm.
[Outro]
[End]

ChatGPTさんに勧めてもらって以来、ちまちまやってるWilliamBlake、可愛い詩だなぁ、と思ってたのですが、ここにきて時代を感じてしまいました。
煙突掃除屋に売り払われた子供？夢に出てくる子達、多分無事じゃないよね…。この時代はどんなニュアンスで読まれたんだろう？

でも私は敢えて他の詩と同じようにメジャー仕立てにしました。
逆に暗い雰囲気にしたら救われへんわと思うのです。

I've been slowly digging into William Blake's works ever since ChatGPT recommended them to me, and I've always thought their poems were cute, but now I'm starting to feel their era.

A child sold to a chimney sweep? The children who appear in his dreams are probably not safe... I wonder what kind of nuances people used to read them in this era?

But I deliberately made it a major cords, like his other poems.

On the other hand, I feel like it wouldn't be as redeeming if it had a darker atmosphere.
