"Laughing Song" is a lyric poem, written in three stanzas of four-beat lines, rhyming AABB.

"[1] Using words like "sing" and "chorus" for emphasis, Blake sets out to lure readers to the happiness of prelapsarian times, when things were unspoiled and innocent.

Blake is inviting the readers to take part in the celebration; after all nature and all the people have begun to laugh and be merry, he wants all to come join in the song.

The poem begins with the laughter and happiness of nature in the first stanza, personifying the wood, hills, and air.

It shows an outdoor gathering or celebration in which all are one with nature, and laugh with the trees as expressed in the poem.
