Friday Poetry Blogging

Since Elise is otherwise preoccupied, here's a poem for the day - and for last Tuesday: "Infant Joy" by William Blake:

"I have no name:
I am but two days old."
What shall I call thee?
"I happy am,
Joy is my name."
Sweet joy befall thee!

Pretty joy!
Sweet joy, but two days old.
Sweet Joy I call thee:
Thou dost smile,
I sing the while;
Sweet joy befall thee!
