laughing song poem summary​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The poem Laughing Song by William Blake (from Songs of Innocence) is a depiction of an ideal world. It is one of his few poems which portray nature with rich and pleasant imagery. In this poem, the poet describes the merry-making natural things and urges the people (particularly the Romantics) to join him in singing songs in the appreciation of nature’s beauty.

The poem has been divided into three stanzas having four lines each and like most of the other poems of Blake, the rhyme scheme of Laughing Song is AABB. The poem has been composed in a way that one can sing it.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Laughing Song by William Blake is a three-stanza work that notes an imagined instance of what will happen “[w]hen” a time comes, but that something will only happen after a series of impossible obstacles that Blake has insisted upon. “When” they occur—and only then—can the happiness and togetherness that is noted at the end of the poem come to be. In this, Blake has addressed a real desire to have this closeness with this other person, but the impossible elements he has listed that must first happen indicate that he does not believe that the wanted ending will happen. This seems to be a likely theme of the poem.
