19 in the Songs of Innocence and 28 in the Songs of Experience

William Blake wrote many poems throughout his life, with estimates ranging from over 800 to around 2000. Some of his most famous works include "Songs of Innocence and Experience" and "The Tyger."
The first poem is from the perspective of a child. The children where seen as completely innocent (why the collection of poems is called Songs of Innocence) and relatively relied on hope to portray a certain image. The children believed that if they did their work and followed orders (according to the final lines of the poem) they would be safe from harm, and God would become their new father. This is ironic because doing their work and following orders ultimately killed many of the chimney sweepers.The second poem is from the perspective of a more experienced person. They see the true meaning of the work they do: cheap labor. The ones who own the chimney sweepers treated them poorly, and only cared for profit (examples: many owned only 1 set of clothing, rarely bathed, etc.). The experienced worker sees through the rouse that the innocent child believes, and knows that he is being used and his only escape is through death.These are two poems from William Blake's Songs of Innocence and of Experience.

He thought the church was 'blackening' (From the poem called 'London'). It can also be seen in 'The Tyger' that he has a strong dislike towards the industrial revolution. Many of his poems are sister poems (or couplet poems) which means they go together, for example, 'The Lamb' and 'The Tyger' or the two 'Nurse's song' poems. They often give different views of Innocence and Experience which can link to before and after the fall of mankind in the story of Eden with Adam and Eve.
