Little 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,

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.

    The answer to the question of who made the lamb is:

    A. Jesus, the Lamb of God

    Explanation:

    The poem "The Lamb" by William Blake is a lyrical poem in which the speaker expresses his admiration of the lamb. This animal, as the speaker observes, is meek, innocent, harmless, beautiful. However, unlike the speaker who observes it, the lamb is not aware of who its creator is. The speaker asks, "Dost thou know who made thee?" And the speaker himself answers:

    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.

    The one who is described as the Lamb of God and, therefore, has the same name as the animal ("He is called by thy name") is Jesus Christ. Jesus is the role model for all Christians, the example of meekness, innocence, harmlessness. Jesus, like the lamb, is offered as a sacrifice to save others. And, like the lamb, He does not fight against it. He, the creator of the lamb, is a Lamb Himself. That is is the answer the speaker gives us in the poem.
