In Romantic poetry, innocence is often expressed through images of nature and childhood and emerges as one of the central themes. Gaining symbolic meaning particularly through animal figures, this concept creates a powerful representational field in poetry. In William Blake’s Songs of Innocence and of Experience, the opposition between innocence and experience is rendered visible through animal symbolism. While the lamb appears as a symbol of innocence and divine harmony, the tiger represents a world in which this harmony is disrupted. A similar symbolic structure can also be observed in the poetry of Muallim Naci. Animal figures such as the lamb and the bird are used not merely as elements of nature but as symbols reflecting human compassion and fragile existence. In this way, animals transform into important imaginative tools that intensify emotional expression and make innocence perceptible. The use of symbols that encompass similar semantic fields in poems written in different literary and cultural contexts reinforces the emphasis on innocence. This study examines how animal symbols are represented in the poetry of Blake and Naci from a comparative perspective and explains their relationship with the concept of innocence.
