The Lamb (Songs of Innocence) • Little Lamb, who made thee?

Dost thou know who made thee?Gave thee life, and bid thee feedBy 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!

connotations of being young, joyful and INNOCENT!
