This watercolor, which has no title, is accompanied by the following quatrain by William Blake:

“Piping down the valleys wild,
      Piping songs of pleasant glee,
On a cloud I saw a child,
      and he, laughing, said to me . . .”
                                        Blake’s “Songs of Innocence”
