We once believed in heaven made On England's green and sunny land Though a thing that God forbade This we did not understand; A mad'ning vision took our minds And made a grave a thousand fields Sir Thomas warned us, he who finds Ears to hear, this truth he wields; This dream a nightmare has become Although to fear our souls have numbed Utopia took the mind of some The bodies of the rest succumbed; And all that's left for them to do Is dream in hollowed shells they made And fade away at last from view For t'was a thing that God forbade.
