Answer: 

The poem “The Chimney Sweeper” was written by the visionary English poet William Blake ( 1757-1827) in the late 18th century, during the peak hour of the Industrial Revolution in England. The poem explains the hard life and exploits of young chimney Sweepers who are forced to work in factories and industries. This is a very popular poem about poverty and child labor.

The poem describes the harsh reality that the chimney sweepers face in their lives. Usually, they are sold by their fathers in labor. They are forced to work long hours in dangerous and painful conditions. They have to clean away the soot accumulated in the inner walls of the chimney. They climb narrow chimneys, often blocked and covered in soot and dirt. Their heads are clean-shaven to eliminate the risk of their hair catching fire. They are at risk of suffocation, falling, or being burned alive. They do this hard and tough inhuman work only for a day meal or for a tiny place to sleep.

The poem “Chimney Sweeper” depicts the hard life and exploits of young chimney sweepers in England during the Industrial Revolution. It emphasizes the dangerous and unsanitary conditions in which these boys work.
