And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green
And was the holy lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills
And was Jerusalem builded there
Among those dark Satanic mills
Bring me my bow (my bow) of burning gold
Bring me my arrows of desire
Bring me my spears o'clouds unfold
Bring me my chariot of fire
I will not cease from mental strife
Nor shall my sword sleep in hand
'Til we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land
Tis about Glastonbury and the view to the Tor, or that's what I've always been told and believed, am probably completely wrong! And it's probably not megalithic, so don't know why I've posted this! :o)
it's a questions and answer poem, so;
And did those feet in ancient times
Walk upon England's mountains green- Did christianity come to England?
Answer - Yes
And was the holy lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen - Bringing peace?
Answer - Not so's you'd notice
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills - Showing understanding?
Answer - Certainly not!
And was Jerusalem builded there
Among those dark Satanic mills - Is England better for it?
Answer - No
Bring me my bow (my bow) of burning gold
Gold is found in EARTH
Bring me my arrows of desire
Arrows fly through AIR
Bring me my spears o'clouds unfold
Cloud's spears of rain are WATER
Bring me my chariot of fire
As stated
A Call To Arms
I will not cease from mental strife
(as in that the more we learn, the less we know)
Nor shall my sword sleep in hand
(fighting vested ignorance)
'Til we have built Jerusalem (a good place!)
In England's green and pleasant land
