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 those clouded hills And was Jerusalem builded here Among those dark, Satanic mills? Bring me my bow of burning gold Bring me my arrows of desire Bring me my shield, Oh clouds unfold - Bring me my chariot of fire. I shall not cease from mental strife, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand Till we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant land! It scans (88.88.88.88), rhymes (abcb.defe), line breaks are phrase breaks (not arbitrary) - so how is it prose not poetry? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJXglLZAAoJEAF3yXsqtyBlRqQQAOM0+q43YzHvFvfUdCP7zsQ2 /VwwEqJWsOeNC1olEj8xG3DBnQdp8GyzSQnUMIfmHjEd+eYQb/5foZaVdearVaC9 +KmzND3MRgHn2SFBvq9lIk12XjbL3QFr3HUMN29Y4o04EpMGgyIrI4amXWiu98MJ Iz+33dNGD9uVnP9+ODKfrkBRbyYfQ/dO2cRRIyp08iQVxu748/SdrqRacROxlA/r +XSoqR10iiYYH0kJbFe433g5vs09qfeso76i669giAdbl6plNX5Oy7SP7SZzpCmG bdkTL91rAe5lgDbSaGCOHzzOtEu0kKAMElQkJZCnIZbwOHBVifblf9+tGOnwSRLo l7Z+vT9JhuKtERjOfycOpuFtFnWi+WQsAd5ZSHGm9DOhmqU2SC+Wy2+mtBWe/Vd2 +AfcCZypl0M2Ujo6x8crEmHXznTlwfwZtE/IpJZdo/VxuI/Co4n4JKflgOGQeeEb XL/O0Tji/ZIShQHSAkKZrqV4vo/0rl0WWV1z3F9hJf8pZ+HZpEnrs+dTPcqXG5oL Tv0y/xKIOAmS+vk8mMNsB9n4uSjnDMiPVN7iJfyrOtvbNteR73B1QabK3OKkVLFD jV+jOCBp5C+Rg3KEAf9jfmVrpbYQNNoiLR5x+83U7ZDPrnTaO6mL14Gud5nPIHpy arFab59xEKPRIS0noT8N =+O5j -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
