"The hapless soldiers sigh" by William Blake

What does William Blake suggest in the  line "The hapless soldiers sigh"?





It symbolises how men are drafted into war and have no choice to serve their country. As these soldiers unwillingly march to the beat of the country's forceful drum, they know their lives will be taken, as their "sigh runs in blood down the palace wall" . Blake uses the sense of destruction to explain how people are forced to repair "the weakness" and "woe" of their society.


In the third stanza of London, William Blake raises his poetic hand to protect the life of boys who are involved into war force full only for penury. He criticized the authorities like the Church and the State who are responsible for that brutal war, that is nothing but the shadow of life through the soldiers and using words like "sigh" . W.Blake so how appalled he is at how authorities are being immune to the distress of their common people. The soldier represents the anguish of those who had to serve in the army under the difficult conditions. Their blood is being free down to palace wall and given split down the palace wall and given a message of "sigh". the combination  of hapless sacrifice of the soldiers on one side and the unhearing  corrupt authorities on the other site is both stark and  accusatory in its tone by the poet.
