These poems come from William Blake’s illustrated poems The Songs of Innocence (1789), for which he later made a companion volume The Songs of Experience. The form of the poem is essentially that of a nursery rhyme, that is to say, it appears like a very simple song, a very simple lyric. In fact, Blake’s Songs of Innocence and Experience have provoked the most extensive and complexly learned commentaries. Critics agree that even the simplest of these poems have depths of meaning.

Blake was sharply aware of reality: in real life once a person is “lost” (whether to drugs or drink or other cravings and unrealities) then they often stay lost and never recover. But these poems are from his Songs of Innocence, which, to some extent, portray his ideals, his deepest spiritual convictions. So here, in the companion poem, “The Little Boy Found”, the boy does not stay lost: he is rescued by God who appears in the form of his father. Complex theological (religious) ideas are at work here. Blake did not believe that God was some great giant or superhuman old man up in the sky. He saw God as, from one aspect, like an “ordinary” human being, only a perfected one (i.e. completely kind, good, and unselfish). Here the child cannot rescue itself, but God comes to it in the form of its father, comforts it, and leads it back to its mother.
