Piping songs of pleasant glee
Description: Songs of Innocence and of Experience addresses the contrast between innocence and experience in the human psyche.

Blake uses symbolic language and ostensibly clear lyrics to juxtapose happiness and misery, release and limitation. This compilation combines personal feelings with society critique, revealing how established standards and power systems degrade innate purity. The poem is poetic and prophetic in character, offering a powerful condemnation of moral deceit while also exploring human yearning for spiritual and societal emancipation.
