The Lamb - William Blake

      Little Lamb, who made thee?
        Dost 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?
        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!
