Blake points out that the persecution of children was the primary factor on the "shackles of mind" that defined mind and corrupted society.

Chimney sweeps used to be people who cleaned chimneys, but now chimneys are narrow and children are forced to clean them sometimes. This is considered the suppression of children and deprivation of their childhood, their interference in the work of adults leads to terrible health problems, especially from this job. Blake believes that the children's world is for children and no one has the right to deprive them of their world and force them to enter the adult world that spoils them at an early age.

 

Here the poem aims at the collective failure to cherish life, and this failure is part of putting children in this dangerous situation. Churches indicate sanctity and help, but here in the poem they indicate their insufficiency and ignorance.The source of a soldier's sigh could be the indignity and tiredness of life in London, or the sound of his last breath when he died in a distant battle. The soldier's sigh seems to be a strange development of poetic imagination, and the palace indicates the position of responsibility for the soldier's misery, and makes clear that the state is the oppressive power.

 

The poem ends with a bleak end, as the speaker wanders in the middle of the night and hears misery and pain in the streets of London, implying that London's persecution is a kind of spell.
