Featured Poem: Infant Joy by William Blake
Happy New Year to all our Readers! Let's kick start 2017 with a short but sweet verse from William Blake, Infant Joy.
First published in Songs of Innocence, Infant Joy was a counterpart to Infant Sorrow which was later published in Songs of Experience in 1794. Blake plays the two poems off against each other, comparing the joy and sorrow that can often come hand in hand on the arrival of a new infant.
