A Little Girl Lost Analysis

Children of the future age,
Reading this indignant page,
Know that in a former time
Love, sweet love, was thought a crime.
In the age of gold,
Free from winter's cold,
Youth and maiden bright,
To the holy light,
Naked in the sunny beams delight.
Once a youthful pair,
Filled with softest care,
Met in garden bright
Where the holy light
Had just removed the curtains of the night.
Then, in rising day,
On the grass they play;
Parents were afar,
Strangers came not near,
And the maiden soon forgot her fear.
Tired with kisses sweet,
They agree to meet
When the silent sleep
Waves o'er heaven's deep,
And the weary tired wanderers weep.
To her father white
Came the maiden bright;
But his loving look,
Like the holy book
All her tender limbs with terror shook.
"Ona, pale and weak,
To thy father speak!
Oh the trembling fear!
Oh the dismal care
That shakes the blossoms of my hoary hair!"

.: commentary :.
wow people have no sense of writing apparently. these postings are to explain the poem and not make stupid comments cause you think you are "cool". anyway blake is trying to potray that our society takes love in a different meaning and the poem is just explaining how if we loved each other in a humane way then there wouldn't be any problems. also it explains how things such as books , parents, morals, and religion fill an innocent human or child with evil about how not everyone is to love and such things. another point that the poem is trying to potray is that it doesnt matter if you are a male or female there shouldn't be any difference in rights or how you think of eachother, but our society doesnt agree to that and thus there are so many problems.

Blake embraced ideals of free of love and opposed any authority figures that tried to curb human passion. Blake held that a heaven (or golden age) on earth would one day be achieved if we let passion and imagination lead us. Blake certainly did not want men or women to control their sexual urges, that would be a great sin according to his framework. Here, Blake shows that children, in their innocence, inhabit something akin to the perfect golden age (as seen in their sexual encounter), but authority figures like parents and holy books destroy this innocence and potential. A far more esoteric reading could be wrung from the poem, which in all honesty was probably Blake's plan.

.: Commentary :.
This adorable little poem is about lust and disgusting female urges. Obviously a man would be able to control his sexuality and not let the lion eat his parents.
I presume the reference to "grass" is about some sort of community area where peadophiles pick up children for nightly rodgering.
I would also very much like to live in the "age of gold". I wonder if animals would be made of gold aswell...A golden octupus would be a superb addition to the ecosystem.
Besides, who names their child after a polyfast, synthetic material anyway?
STUPID.

.: commenty :.
the poem is about lovers, the girl loves the boy and apparently has hair according to the last line, so we know she is not suffering from hair loss or using any hair removal creams.
Apparently this comment has to be a bit longer so i shall make a comment upon the first verse. It tells the reader that love was once thought of a crime, but this was only sweet love. So the love one displays for someone such as a relative (maybe balding, maybe not)can be thought of as not sweet, sour infact. According to blake this was ok back in the day
