Blake was born in London on November 28, 1757. He died on August 12, 1827.[1] He claimed that in a dream his brother Robert taught him the printing method that he used in Songs of Innocence and other illuminated works.[1] Songs of Innocence includes poems about children and the clash between the corruption of the world and the innocence of youth. He uses imagery throughout Songs of Innocence.
"A Cradle Song" is a poem written by William Blake in 1789, as part of his book Songs of InnocenceThe 32-line poem is divided into 8 stanzas of 4 lines each. Each stanza follows an "AABB" rhyme scheme.
“A Cradle Song” follows a couplet structure where each pair of lines rhyme. This lends the poem a graceful sound and makes it easy to sing. While writing this poem, Blake drew from the image of a mother sitting over her infant while the baby is in her crib falling sleep.
