The differences between “Infant Joy” and “Infant Sorrow” is that the baby in Infant Joy is happy because he/she is living with no type of worry and just living life in the womb without knowing the dangers of the outside. He/she feels safe and protected in the inside and is green to know what is ahead, but still isn’t thinking about it. In Infant Sorrow, the baby is uncomfortable. He/she realizes that the outside is not so great. The two poems similarize because even though the baby finds that the world is a danger, yet he/she is still attached to his/mother and find comfort in her.

In Verse 1 "I will lift my eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help" , using "the hills" as a symbol for higher power. Verse 5 stated " The LORD is thy keep: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand". Using "thy right hand" as a sym...
