    Songs of Innocence: The Lamb

    Songs of Innocence: The Lamb License: Public Domain William Blake

    Little Lamb who made thee

    Dost thou know who made thee

    Gave thee life & bid thee feed.

    By the stream & o'er the mead;

    Gave thee clothing of delight,

    Softest clothing wooly 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 & he is mild,

    He became a little child:

    I a child & thou a lamb,

    We are called by his name.

    Little Lamb God bless thee.

    Little Lamb God bless thee.
