Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience

William Blake

The “Songs of Innocence” were published in 1789 and republished in 1794 together with the “Songs of Experience”. They represent Blake's two perspectives on the world, that of the child (innocence) and that of the adult (experience). Blake's poetical works were largely neglected in their own time but are today considered some of the most brilliant of English verse. The “Songs” are presented here together with “Auguries of Innocence". Public Domain (P)2016 Spiders' House Audio/Roy Macready Author - William Blake. Narrator - Roy Macready.
