The Lamb
by William Blake
Poem Text
1Little Lamb, who made thee?
2Dost thou know who made thee?
3Gave thee life, and bid thee feed
4By the stream and o'er the mead;
5Gave thee clothing of delight,
6Softest clothing, woolly, bright;
7Gave thee such a tender voice,
8Making all the vales rejoice?
9Little Lamb, who made thee?
10Dost thou know who made thee?
12Little Lamb, I'll tell thee,
13Little Lamb, I'll tell thee:
14He is called by thy name,
15For he calls himself a Lamb.
16He is meek, and he is mild;
17He became a little child.
18I a child, and thou a lamb,
19We are called by his name.
20Little Lamb, God bless thee!
21Little Lamb, God bless thee!
