Little Lamb, Who Made Thee?





Little lamb, who made thee?  Dost thou know who made thee,

Gave thee life, and bade thee feed,  By the stream and o'er the mead;

Gave thee clothing of delight,  Softest clothing, wooly bright;

Gave thee such a tender voice,  Making all the vales rejoice?



Boy Praying
Margaret Tarrant



   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 thee a Lamb,  We are called by His name. 

Little lamb, God bless thee!  Little lamb, God bless thee!



"Little Lamb, Who Made Thee?"
(1789)
William Blake
(1757-1827)
English poet, painter, and print maker
