    The Garden of Love by William Blake

    m
    "The Garden of Love" is a poem by English poet William

    co
    Blake. In this poem, the poet argues that it should be love,
    freedom, and joy that religion should be about and not
    rules and restrictions.

    While the poet is at a place which is called the Garden of


    a.
    Love, he sees what he has never seen before. He sees that
    in the middle of the garden, a new chapel has been built.
    The poet says it is built exactly where he used to play on
    the grass.
    w
    In the next stanza, the poet inspects the chapel and finds
    that the gates are locked. He also finds the door with a
    r

    prohibiting message which says “you shall not.” The poet


    turns back to the garden, which he says was once full of
    ka

    flowers.

    In the last stanza, the poet says that earlier where the
    flowers used to grow, only graves can be seen. The graves
    have filled the garden. The poet says that he sees the

    garments. Talking about the priests, the poet says that they
    are holding back their happiness and wishes by using
    thorny twigs/branches.
