<P> The Echoing Green (or Ecchoing Green) is a poem by William Blake published in Songs of Innocence in 1789 . The poem talks about merry sounds and images which accompany the children playing outdoors . Then, an old man happily remembers when he enjoyed playing with his friends during his own childhood . The last stanza depicts the little ones being weary when the sun has descended and going to their mother to rest after playing many games . </P> <P> The poem follows the structure of a day --' the sun does arise' in the beginning of the first verse, and' the sun does descend' in the middle of the third stanza, and can be read as a metaphor for human life . The poem is the contrast of innocence and experience, but also the contrast between perception of joys and sorrows . What is happening on the Green will happen again, shown by the' old folk' who watch the children and reminisce about their own childhood on the Green . The whole poem is written in six sentences with much repetition . </P>
