IDK, it's just really obvious that the clod of clay and the pebble are allegoric portrayals of certain kinds of people (hell, they're talking about love. A clod of clay and a pebble) - despite his being a ~Romantic (sort of), Blake wrote what is considered pretty traditional poetry by modern standards. No absurdism, so no actual talking stones.

The rest is symbolism. The clod of clay being trodden with the cattle's feet is a selfless, altruistic person (who would rather suffer harm themselves than inflict it upon the other), and the pebble is a selfish, egotistic person (who would rather harm others than suffer themselves), because the clod is, well, trodden and allows the cattle to pass despite the fact that it gets squished in the process, while the pebble retains its shape but is a nuisance to the cattle.
