Songs of Innocence is a collection of illustrated lyrical poetry, published by William Blake in 1789. Its companion volume
is Songs of Experience.
Blake believed that innocence and experience were "the two contrary states of the human soul," and that true innocence was
impossible without experience. Songs of Innocence contains poems either written from the perspective of children or
written about them.
