  3. The Lamb • 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. I a child, and thou a lamb, We are called by His name. Little Lamb, God bless thee! Little Lamb, God bless thee!

  4. The Tyger • Dare frame thy fearful symmetry? Tyger! Tyger! burning bright In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry? In what distant deeps or skies Burnt the fire of thine eyes? On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand dare sieze the fire? • And what shoulder, & what art. Could twist the sinews of thy heart? And when thy heart began to beat, What dread hand? & what dread feet? • What the hammer? what the chain? In what furnace was thy brain? What the anvil? what dread grasp Dare its deadly terrors clasp? • When the stars threw down their spears, And watered heaven with their tears, Did he smile his work to see? Did he who made the Lamb make thee? • Tyger! Tyger! burning bright In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye

  5. The Lamb Who made the lamb Do you know who made the lamb? Who gave you life and who fed you by the stream and over the meadow Who gave you clothing of delight, soft wool? who gave you such a tender voice that makes everyone rejoice. Little lamb, I’ll tell you he is called by the name He calls himself a lamb He is mild and became a child I am a child and you are a lamb We are called by his name God bless the lamb

  6. The Tyger Tyger, Who made you? Where were you created and how could someone make you? Who brought you to life and when your heart started beating why didn't he stop? What tools were used to create you? When everyone saw this horrible work, was he proud of it? Did the man that made you make the lamb? Tyger, Who made you?

  7. Diction • In both poems, Blake, uses words that ask a question. • In both poems, there is a question asked and then later in the poem the question is answered.

  8. Tone and mood • The mood of The Tyger is sad, because the man was asking the tyger who would make such an ugly creature. • The tone of The Tyger is dark, gloomy, and suspenseful.
