"Laughing Song" is a poem by the English poet, painter, and printmaker William Blake, first published in his 1789 collection "Songs of Innocence." The poem is a celebration of nature's joy and the harmonious laughter that resonates through the rural landscape. It is one of the simpler and more lyrical poems in Blake's oeuvre, reflecting the innocence and purity that characterize the pastoral world.

The poem consists of three stanzas, each ending with the refrain "Ha, Ha, He." It depicts various elements of the countryside – the green woods, the painted birds, the laughing meadows, and the dimpling streams – personifying them as they join in a chorus of laughter. The imagery Blake employs is vivid and evocative, creating a sense of the idyllic and the bucolic that is central to the theme of "Songs of Innocence."

"Laughing Song" is often analyzed within the context of Blake's broader work, which juxtaposes the states of 'innocence' and 'experience.' In this context, the poem stands as an emblem of innocence, contrasting with the darker, more cynical tones found in the companion collection, "Songs of Experience" (1794). The simplicity of the language and the joyful subject matter make "Laughing Song" accessible to a wide audience, including children, which aligns with Blake's intention for the "Songs of Innocence" to appeal to the young at heart.

Blake's original publication included his own hand-colored illustrations, which contribute to the understanding and appreciation of the poem. The integration of text and image is characteristic of Blake's innovative approach to book design and reflects his belief in the unity of the arts.

"Laughing Song" has been the subject of literary analysis and criticism, often focusing on its place within Blake's poetic philosophy, its representation of an idealized natural world, and its function as a counterpoint to the themes of corruption and loss of innocence that appear in his later works. As with much of Blake's poetry, "Laughing Song" continues to be studied for its literary merit, its philosophical depth, and its artistic beauty.
