The Lamb

Little lamb, who made thee?

Dost thou know who made thee,

Gave thee life, and made thee feed

By the stream and o'er the mead?

Gave thee clothing of delight,—

Softest clothing, woolly, bright?

Gave thee such a tender voice,

Making all the vales rejoice?

Little lamb, who made thee?

Dost thou know who made thee?

Little lamb, I'll tell thee;

Little lamb, I'll tell thee:

He is called by thy name

For He calls Himself a lamb.

He is meek, and He is mild:

He became a little child:

I a child, and thou a lamb,

We are called by His name.

Little lamb, God bless thee!

Little lamb, God bless thee!

William Blake
