"Laughing Song" is a poem by the English poet William Blake. This poem is one out of nineteenth in Blake's collection Songs of Innocence. Analysis of the poem“Laughing Song” is a three-stanza lyric poem. Its rhyme scheme consists of abcc/aabb/abcc. The title of this poem and its rhyme scheme is very appropriate for the message that Blake is trying to convey. The title in itself states that this is a song about laughter, and the three stanzas give this impression, especially in this line of the second stanza: With their sweet round mouths sing "Ha, ha, he." Then again in the third stanza, To sing the sweet chorus of "Ha, ha, he." Using words like “sing” and “chorus” to emphasize it as well. Blake’s sets out to lure readers to the happiness of the prelapsarian times, when things were unspoiled and innocent. Blake is inviting the readers to take part in the celebration after all nature and all the people have begun to laugh and be merry, he wants all to come join in the song. In the idea of prelapsarian/postlapsarian times, he knows that this great joy won't last forever. This is why the poem begins with the laughter and happiness of nature in the first stanza, personifying the wood, hills, and air. In the second stanza, Blake gradually goes on to the “grasshopper” and “Mary and Susan and Emily,” the children who will also join in the singing of the “Ha, ha, he.” The children and grasshopper also reiterates the idea of innocence and joy. Using repetition of the words "merry" and "laughs/laughing" also emphasises the overall tone of the poem. IllustrationThe illustration (on the right) will also gives a great visual of what Blake was trying to express. In the picture you can tell there was a gathering or celebration of some sort. This celebration is outdoor, so all are on with nature and laugh with the trees as expressed in the poem. The colour in the image are vibrant and the border of birds adds a joyous touch. References
