He is sold to his employer by is father.
Explanation:
William Blake's poem <em>"The Chimney Sweeper"</em> from his <em><u>"Songs of Innocence,"</u></em> tells the story of how a small boy was forced into employment as child labor which was a common practice in England of that time. This poem is a generalization of the prominent case of child labor through which some families get their incomes.
Narrated from the small boy's perspective, the first stanza reads
<em>When my mother died I was very young,
</em>
<em>And my father sold me while yet my tongue
</em>
<em>Could scarcely cry " 'weep! 'weep! 'weep! 'weep!"
</em>
<em>So your chimneys I sweep & in soot I sleep</em>
It is clearly evident to see that the young boy's employment came at the death of his mother. <u>His father sold him to be a chimney sweeper</u> even before he could barely talk or speak.
