The poem describes a young chimney sweeper boy crying "weep, weep" in the snow, lamenting that his parents have taken him to be an apprentice chimney sweeper. Though he was once happy playing in the snow, he is now forced to work and sing songs of sorrow and misery instead of joy. His parents believe they have done him no harm by condemning him to this life.
