Songs of Innocence and of Experience

Holy thursday william blake

Explain with reference to context :

"Twas on a holy Thursday, their innocent faces clean, The children walking two and two, in red and blue and green, gray-headed Beadles walked before with wands as whites as snow, Till into the high dome of Paul's they like Thames waters flow, oh what a multitude they seemed, these flowers of London town!,"
