I have the same prompt. Are you in the k12 system? Well here it is:
William Blake uses literary techniques and structure to develop meaning to the poem, mood as well as tone. Blake uses phrases like "<span>The sun does arise,
And make happy the skies" To make the reader feel happy and light. It also conveys the idea that spring is a good thing and that the skies become happy when spring is coming. Blake also uses rhyme to make the poem light and bouncy. He uses phrases like </span><span>The merry bells ring - B
To welcome the Spring; The skylark and thrush, The birds of the bush,
Sing louder around To the bells’ cheerful sound; While our sports shall be seen On the echoing green" This little stanza here give the poem a light and happy feeling. This is as far as I got I'll update this later when I am done. I hoped this somewhat helped.</span>
