The emergence of the concept of romanticism represents a literary movement that has an argument against Classicism in terms of method, although there is controversy about its beginning and ending period. Although the authors were not defined as Romantic at the beginning of the era, they took part in the Romantic era category after a while. William Blake, a Romantic poet, vividly included elements of Romanticism in his poems. All the phenomena characterized by imagination, subjectivity, freedom of thought and expression, and idealization of nature in the Romanticism movement are heavily featured in his poems. He used his imagination and visionary in his poems through embodiment. Many of the poets of the Romantic era were greatly influenced by the war between England and France and the French Revolution. Blake was also influenced and wrote his works against the old classical era ideas with a deep inspiration. This study focuses on the Romantic elements in Blake’s poem The Ecchoing Green, which he wrote in a free, dramatic, and romantic mood. The poem will be analysed within the framework of imagination, mysticism, symbolism, love of freedom, importance given to childhood, nature, pastoral environment, and lyricism in the Romantic movement.
