"Auguries of Innocence"
by William Blake

Every night and every morn
Some to misery are born,
Every morn and every night
Some are born to sweet delight.

1. William Blake is trying say the different ways people live their lives. For instance, he says that some people are born in a struggling and difficult life, meanwhile others are born in a happy, peaceful, good life. This may be defined as the way people live economically or the way you behave/ treat others. This shows that people are different.
2. Blake uses allegory, and symbol in this stanza. Allegory gives two different meanings for one meaning, and also symbolizes. Misery and sweet delight are used to symbolize life.
