"Infant Joy" and "Infant Sorrow"

Both Infant Joy and Infant Sorrow are written by a man named William Blake. In Infant Joy, it is a simple poem with a deep meaning of beginning of life and joy. Starting out and coming into the world with a new sight to behold. Infant Joy is talking about the start of happiness. Unlike it's counterpart Infant Sorrow, It shows happiness.

Infant Sorrow, the counterpart to Infant Joy shows the time through life. How sad and bothering life can be once you get past the beginning and start heading towards the end. The thought of living past being small and happy and dealing with life. Infant Sorrow shows that even though everyone can be happy, it can easily disappear as sorrow can appear.
