With thanks to Rev. John Challis, James Rushman and all at the church who made them so welcome.

‘The Echoing Green’ is a poem by William Blake published in ‘Songs of Innocence’ in 1789. The poem talks about merry sounds and images which accompany the children playing outdoors. Then, an old man happily remembers when he enjoyed playing with his friends during his own childhood. The last stanza depicts the little ones being weary when the sun has descended and going to their mother to rest after playing many games.

Recorded at St. Mary’s Church, Felpham, West Sussex, England by Mike Harding, 26th May 2025
