<h3><SPAN name="1">INTRODUCTION</SPAN></h3>
Piping down the valleys wild,<br/>
Piping songs of pleasant glee,<br/>
On a cloud I saw a child,<br/>
And he laughing said to me:
<br/><br/>‘Pipe a song about a Lamb!’<br/>
So I piped with merry cheer.<br/>
‘Piper, pipe that song again.’<br/>
So I piped: he wept to hear.
<br/><br/>‘Drop thy pipe, thy happy pipe;<br/>
Sing thy songs of happy cheer!’<br/>
So I sung the same again,<br/>
While he wept with joy to hear.
<br/><br/>‘Piper, sit thee down and write<br/>
In a book, that all may read.’<br/>
So he vanished from my sight;<br/>
And I plucked a hollow reed,
<br/><br/>And I made a rural pen,<br/>
And I stained the water clear,<br/>
And I wrote my happy songs<br/>
Every child may joy to hear.
