THE LITTLE BOY FOUND, FR. SONGS OF INNOCENCE by WILLIAM BLAKE

Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

First Line: THE LITTLE BOY LOST IN THE LONELY FEN
Last Line: HER LITTLE BOY WEEPING SOUGHT.
Subject(s): BIBLE; MYTHOLOGY;

The little boy lost in the lonely fen,
Led by the wand'ring light,
Began to cry, but God ever nigh
Appear'd like his father in white.

He kissed the child & by the hand led
And to his mother brought,
Who in sorrow pale, thro' the lonely dale,
Her little boy weeping sought.
