Grade 7 Reading Lesson 5 Poetry – The Echoing Green

I love metal songs. Their thick, massive sound drives and emphatic beats are so enjoyable. My grandfather always disapproves of the type of music I listen to. He thinks that songs ought to be subtle and gentle and calls my metal songs ‘noise’.
The same contrast is shown by this poem The Echoing Green by William Blake. Read the poem and find out what the contrast is all about.
