William Blake

In the songs of innocence, children are seeing the society with innocent eyes and have no idea what injustice is. Those poems are more positive than the songs of experience. In the songs of experience, the words are told by children who can see the injustice clearly and speak against the establishment that left them where they are. Both pairs are talking about the misery and misfortune happened on children, in each pairs, the innocence songs mainly talk about hope is children's eyes and hearts and the experience songs are words criticizing the hardness and unfairness in life that ruined the beautiful childhood and highlight their strong will to change the situation. In each pair, we can see the contrast between the innocence of children and the cruelty of reality.
