Thus goes the poem by William Blake written in 1804 and put to music in 1916, based upon some evidence that Jesus as a young teenager visited England with Joseph of Arimathea in search of the metal Tin.
Indeed Tin and Lead are mined in Cornwall where he was supposed to visit. But now a question arises - what did he want with it that would make it a worthwhile trip to come and get it himself rather than buy it from a trader? And if he was apprenticed as a carpenter...they don't use tin?
This raises more questions than it answers.
Unless something else was going on that we don't know about.
