Answer:

William Blake uses imagery to express the feelings and memories of a young chimney sweep, whose perspective the poem is told from.

Step-by-step explanation:

The parts that are in bold font are the lines that use imagery.

"There's little Tom Dacre, who cried when his head

That curled like a lamb's back, was shaved, so I said,

"Hush, Tom! never mind it, for when your head's bare,

You know that the soot cannot spoil your white hair.'"

"Were all of them locked up in coffins of black;"

"Then down a green plain, leaping, laughing they run,

And wash in a river and shine in the Sun."
