Right, I have a few themes with poems and some quotes...there's a couple I haven't done yet, but so far:

CHILDHOOD

The Schoolboy

"But to go to school in a summer morn / Oh! it drives all joy away"

"The little ones spend the day / In sighing and dismay"


Infant Joy

"I have no name; / I am but two days old"


Infant Sorrow

"Striving against my swaddling bands"


A Little Girl Lost

"And the maiden soon forgot her fear"


The Chimney Sweeper (Innocence)

"When my mother died, I was very young"


The Chimney Sweeper (Experience)

"A little black thing among the snow"



FREEDOM AND RESTRAINT

The Schoolboy

"How can the bird that is born for joy / Sit in a cage and sing?


Infant Sorrow

"Striving against my swaddling bands"


The Echoing Green

"The birds of the bush / Sing louder around"


A Little Boy Lost

"In trembling zeal he seized his hair


London

"The mind-forged manacles I hear"



RELATIONSHIPS WITH AUTHORITY

A Little Boy Lost

"In trembling zeal he seized his hair / And all admired the priestly care"


A Little Girl Lost

"To her father white / Came the maiden bright"


The Shepherd

"For they know when their shepherd is nigh"



RELIGION AND THE CHURCH

The Garden Of Love

"And priests in black gowns were walking their rounds"


A Little Boy Lost

"The priest sat by and heard the child / In trembling zeal he seized his hair."


Holy Thursday

"Twas on a Holy Thursday, their innocent faces clean"


The Little Vagabond

"the church is cold"




Just a few at the moment, please feel free to add to them, as there's probably loads I have missed!
