William Blake’s Valentine to Broadway’s Wicked
Wicked Is Popular With Poet
BROADWAY MAGAZINE – One of the most beloved poets shares our fondness for one of Broadway’s most popular hit shows. William Blake knows his witches and his green. As we take time to bring you our Broadway Valentine’s Day all weekend long on Broadway.tv, we offer you Blake’s Valentine to Wicked. Apparently, he was able to get tickets, and interestingly enough returned several times to enter the Wicked Broadway Lottery. Happy Broadway Valentine’s Day. You can see other Broadway Valentines right here.
Echoing Green
The sun does arise,
And make happy the skies;
The merry bells ring
To welcome the spring;
The skylark and thrush,
The birds of the bush,
Sing louder around
To the bell’s cheerful sound,
While our sports shall be seen
On the Echoing Green.
Old John with white hair,
Does laugh away care,
Sitting under the oak,
Among the old folk.
They laugh at our play,
And soon they all say:
“Such, such were the joys
When we all, girls and boys,
In our youth time were seen
On the Echoing Green.”
Till the little ones, weary,
No more can be merry;
The sun does descend,
And our sports have an end.
Round the laps of their mothers
Many sisters and brother,
Like birds in their nest,
Are ready for rest,
And sport no more seen
On the darkening Green.
Love, Broadway Magazine and Broadway.tv
