In ‘The Lamb’ Blake explores themes of religion, innocence, and morality. Throughout the lines, he, or his speaker, expresses his appreciation for God and what he represents.

Stanza One
The Lamb is a didactic poem. In this poem, the poet pays a tribute to Lord Christ who was innocent and pure like a child and meek and mild like a lamb.

The child asks him if the lamb knows who has given it bright and soft wool, which serves as its clothing, who has given it a tender voicethat fills the valley with joy. In the first stanz...
Stanza Two
In the second stanza of the poem, there is an identification of the lamb, Christ, and the child. Christ has another name, that is, Lamb, because Christ is meek and mild like lamb. Christ was also a child when he first appeared on this earth as the Son of God. Hence the appropriateness of the following lines: “He became a little child:/I a child & thou a lamb,/We are called by his name.” The child in this poem speaks to the lamb as if the lamb were another child and could respond to what is be...
The Lamb by William Blake has been written in the form of question and answer. Where its first stanza is descriptive and rural, the second concentrates on abstract spiritual matters and consists of analogy and explanation. The question of the child is both profound and naïve, and the apostrophic form of the poem makes a contribution to the effect o...

William Blake’s poetry is as delighted as it is challenging, and its wide appeal ranges from the deceptive cadence of his lullaby-like pastoralsand songs to the troubling notes of the tragedy of the lapsed soul and the stormy music of the prophetic works.
