AnnotationCentered on the concept of the naive and innocent child, Blake's SONGS OF INNOCENCE represent pastoral worlds in which the child lives a safe and protected life of simple joys. In SONGS OF EXPERIENCE, many of the poems refer directly to their counterparts in the earlier volume, providing a different perspective: The world he presents is the city of London with all its horrors and dangers, including poverty, sickness, oppression, and war. The Lamb gives way to the Tyger, the chimney sweeper's agonies are made palpable, and the Nurse who, in SONGS OF INNOCENCE, finds peace and happiness in the shouts of children at play, now says, "Your spring and your day are wasted in play..."
