The Little Boy Lost

BY W I L L I A M B L A K E

Father, father, where are you going


O do not walk so fast.
Speak father, speak to your little boy
Or else I shall be lost,

The night was dark no father was there


The child was wet with dew.
The mire was deep, & the child did weep
And away the vapour flew.
