The Literary World

From “Songs of Innocence” by 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, wooly bright;

Gave thee such 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 the 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!
