Answer 1

"A Little Boy Lost" is a poem in the Songs of Experience series, written in 1794 after the poet William Blake's Songs of Innocence (1789). The poem focuses on themes of religious persecution and corrupt imperatives of dogmatic church teaching.

The purpose of this poem is to scare children through their words. He shows the exact same feeling of not knowing where to go and where his father has gone.

The correct answer is to be astonished.

Since this poem perfectly describes the feelings and words of the boy, there is no didactic reason why it cannot be warned, explained, or interpreted

Blake incorporated symbolism into his ninth line. "Steam flew away", so "steam" symbolizes the "father" from the beginning of the poem.

In this work, the boy's 'father' is getting further and further away, and the child cannot hear or see him. He is confused in the darkness, but after suffering for a while, the "smoke" will fly away and he will probably return to normal.
