The Lamb

By William Blake

   Little Lamb, who made thee?    Dost thou know who made thee? Gave thee life & bid thee feed, By the stream & o'er the mead; Gave thee clothing of delight, Softest clothing wooly 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 calléd by thy name, For he calls himself a Lamb; He is meek & he is mild, He bacame a little child; I a child & thou a lamb, We are call'ed by his name.    Little Lamb God bless thee.    Little Lamb God bless thee. (William Blake, from Songs of Innocence and of Experience, 1789)
