William Blake (1757–1827) |
| | | LITTLE 1 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, | 5 |
| 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? | 10 |
| |
| Little lamb, I’ll tell thee: | |
| Little lamb, I’ll tell thee: | |
| He is callèd by thy name, | |
| For he calls himself a Lamb. | |
| He is meek and he is mild, | 15 |
| He became a little child. | |
| I a child, and thou a lamb, | |
| We are callèd by his name. | |
| Little lamb, God bless thee! | |
| Little lamb, God bless thee! | 20 |
