Answer:

Tom's dream is supposed to be a glimpse into the afterlife of the chimney sweepers; the coffins of black are a conventional symbol for death, and the black ties back to chimney soot. ... The poem itself has a symbolic meaning: The chimney sweepers symbolize life and its toils, while the soot symbolizes sin.
