The investigation’s goal is to examine a selection of William Blake’s short poems. The study discovered that, in contrast to other shorter works on the same theme, reviewers and scholars saw Blake’s “Songs of Innocence and of Joy” as a depiction of his subtle and profound poetry. Blake’s writings were studied to discover this. By examining the strong themes in Blake’s little poems, the study hopes to demonstrate that works like “Visions of the Daughters of Albion,” “America,” “The Book of Arisen,” and a few stanzas from his word-books are just as significant as “Songs of Innocence and of Enjoy.” Blake’s problem is the study’s focus. He must begin by stating his main point. Blake addresses four issues in his poetry. Subjects: God, love, faith, and innocence. Blake’s short poems are approached more interpretively than stylistically.
