Jerusalem
Blake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 here
Bring me my bow of burning gold
Bring me my arrows of desire
Bring me my spear! Oh, clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire
I will not cease from mental fight
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Til we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land!
The lyrics of William Blake's "Jerusalem" have remained one of the most poignant and enigmatic of all English patriotic songs. "Jerusalem" was adapted from Blake's preface to "Milton: A Poem," and it affirms the poet's belief that a new age was dawning. The song refers to the legend of the young Jesus, who was said to have visited England with his uncle, Joseph of Arimathea. Blake asks "And did those feet in ancient time / Walk upon England's mountains green?" The song then asks whether the "holy Lamb of God" was seen on England's "pleasant pastures."
The second verse explains the countenance divine that shone on the "clouded hills" of England, and whether Jerusalem, which is symbolic of both heaven and England, was built in that same land among the "dark Satanic Mills." The final stanza is a call to arms, with Blake asking for his "bow of burning gold," and his "arrows of desire," his "spear," and his "chariot of fire."
Blake's "Jerusalem" has been regarded as a rallying cry since its creation. The song has become the unofficial anthem of England and is sung at political and sporting events. "Jerusalem" is an embodiment of the British identity, proclaiming pride in the country's history and beauty, and promoting the collective will of the country's citizens towards the future.
