the lamb

william blake’in "songs of innocence and of experience: shewing the two contrary states of the human soul" adlı iki ciltlik eserinin ilk kitabı olan songs of innocence’da bulunan bir şiir.


"the lamb"

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.
