    The poem describes a vision of Jesus walking through the green pastures of England and asks if Jerusalem could have been built in England rather than the Middle East, referencing the industrial mills as "dark Satanic." It calls to be armed with a bow, arrows, spear, and chariot of fire for "mental fight" to build Jerusalem in England's green and pleasant land.

    The New Jerusalem

    William Blake

    And did those feet in ancient time
    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 J erusalem builded here
    Among these dark Satanic Mills?
    Bring me my bow of burning gold!
    Bring me my arrows of desire!
    Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!
    Bring me my charriot of fire!
    I will not cease from mental fight,
    Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
    Till we have built J erusalem
    In England's green and pleasant land.
