THE LAMB

William Blake

Little lamb, who made thee? Does thou know who made thee, Gave thee life, and bid 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? Does thou know who made thee? Little lamb, I’ ll tell thee; Little lamb, I’ ll tell thee:

He is callèd 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 callèd by His name. Little lamb, God bless thee! Little lamb, God bless thee!
