William Blake
The Sun does arise,
And make happy the skies.
The merry bells ring,
To welcome the Spring.
The sky-lark and thrush,
The birds of the bush,
Sing louder around,
To the bells chearful sound,
While our sports shall be seen
On the Ecchoing Green.
Old John with white hair
Does laugh away care,
Sitting under the oak,
Among the old folk.
They laugh at our play,
And soon they all say,
Such such were the joys,
When we were all girls & boys,
In our youth time were seen,
On the Ecchoing Green.
Till the little ones weary
No more can be merry
The sun does descend,
And our sports have an end:
Round the laps of their mothers,
Many sisters and brothers,
Like birds in their nest,
Are ready for rest:
And sport no more seen,
On the darkening Green.
I de første to vers er alle glade, men i tredje vers skifter stemningen. Hvordan skal man forstå "till the little ones weary"??

Måske er det noget med at alting får en ende? At der ikke kan være sjov og ballade hele tiden?
Dette er dog langt fra kvalificerede gæt, men det kan vel være bedre end igenting? =P

Jeg tror dog ikke jeg er tæt på, jeg har altid været slem til at overfortolke

En del af digtene er oversat i samlingen:

Opstilling i folkebiblioteker: sk
Blake, William
Sange om uskyld og erfaring og andre digte / [af] William Blake ; gendigtet af Ib Johansen ; [illustrationer: William Blake]. - Århus : Husets Forlag, cop. 1978. - [80] sider : ill., 21 cm. - (S.O.L.)
ISBN: 87-87582-31-7
Hovedsagelig oversat fra hans: Songs of innocence and of experience, 1789-94. Albiondøtrenes visioner oversat efter: Visions of the daughters of Albion, 1793 ; Ahanians bog oversat efter: The book of Ahania, 1795
Det var værd at låne den bog på biblioteket og se,
1. Om ´dit´digt er oversat i samlingen, og - hvis ja:
2. Hvorledes sidste strofe er oversat.
Der kan være andre oversættelser, men jeg har ikke kilderne til her.

Det her hjalp mig :)
The Ecchoing Green is a poem not merely about the sun rising and setting, but can also be read as a story of life and death, as well as innocence and experience. The poem explains that at birth, one is born into a state of innocence, and through life experience gain a tainted world view. After one has experienced these things, they no longer can live joyously in innocence. The only way they can achieve happiness and the sense of being carefree again is to observe youth in nature. That way they can reminise on their childhood and remember what is was like to know nothing about the world
