Read these stanzas from “The Chimney Sweeper.” What is the poet saying about the lives of the sweepers? Then naked and white, all their bags left behind, They rise upon clouds, and sport in the wind. And the Angel told Tom, if he'd be a good boy, He'd have God for his father and never want joy. And so Tom awoke; and we rose in the dark And got with our bags and our brushes to work. Though the morning was cold, Tom was happy and warm; So if all do their duty, they need not fear harm. Although the boys’ lives are short, they will be dead for a long time. Being poor is a part of God’s plan. No one deserves to be treated badly. If the boys are good in this life, they will be happy in the next.
