Little Boy Lost, The Analysis

Author: Poetry of William Blake Type: Poetry Views: 1705

"Father, father, where are you going?

Oh do not walk so fast!

Speak, father, speak to you little boy,

Or else I shall be lost."

The night was dark, no father was there,

The child was wet with dew;

The mire was deep, and the child did weep,

And away the vapour flew.

.: analysis :.

the little boy lost is about the father's abandonment. the child attempts to stp his father's disappearance or death by calling out to him in urgency, but the second stanza we learn that he could not. The first person narration found in the first stanza changes to third person in the second stanza, as the child is weeping. The simplistic language used and the first person narration at the start give a deeper understanding, immediacy and credibility to the emotions the child feels at the prospect of losing his father.
