Joy and woe are woven fine,
A clothing for the soul divine.
Under every grief and pine
Runs a joy with silken twine.
This stanza has deep meaning. Blake was using symbolism for joy. He claims that joy and woe are the clothing of the soul, meaning happiness must be drapped over the soul to prosper. He is implying that with all grief and hardship, there is always something to be positive about with joy laying underneath the grief and despair waiting to shine.
Nice work, Kayla!
