"Songs of Innocence" is a collection of poems by William Blake, published in 1789. It explores themes of childhood, innocence, and the joy of life through simple language and vivid imagery. The poems often feature children and pastoral scenes, celebrating the purity and wonder of youth. The collection is part of a larger work that includes "Songs of Experience," which contrasts the innocence of youth with the harsh realities of adult life. Together, these works reflect Blake's views on the duality of human existence and the importance of maintaining a sense of wonder and imagination.
