And I made a rural pen, and I stained the water clear, and I wrote my happy songs every child may joy to hear

And I made a rural pen, and I stained the water clear, and I wrote my happy songs every child may joy to hear

The lines “And I made a rural pen, and I stained the water clear, and I wrote my happy songs every child may joy to hear” evoke a sense of simplicity, purity, and innocence. These words are from the poem “Introduction” by William Blake, a visionary poet and artist who lived in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Blake was known for his mystical and symbolic poetry, as well as his unique artistic style that combined poetry and illustration.
