William blake uses metaphors in the stanza.
He compares a little boy who is forced to go to school to a caged bird as well as to a bud or blossom that has bee nipped. The stanza presents the futuristic contrast between the life of child who is happy and free in nature with that of child that is forced to toil in the dreary schoolroom.
