The gentle lamb and the menacing tyger in Blake's "Songs of Innocence and Experience shows the contrast between the innocence of childhood and the experience of adulthood.
             The first two lines of. "The Lamb" sets the style of childish inquisitiveness, "Little Lamb who made thee/Doust thou know who made thee?" (1-2) The poem is divided into two stanzas, the first containing the questions about who made the little lamb and about, "Who gave thee clothing of delight/Softest clothing wooly bright"(5-6) gives the reader an image of childlike fun with the lamb frolicking, "By the stream and o'er the mead" (4). He further describes the lamb as having, "...such a tender voice/making all the vales rejoice" (7-8). The narrator is questioning the lamb, just as an inquisitive child would question an adult as to why the sky is blue. The narrator is telling the lamb about all of its good, gentle, happy qualities, and once again asks, "Little lamb who made thee/Dost thou know who made thee" (9-10)

The narrator is not giving the lamb a chance to answer the question. The narrator answers instead, "Little Lamb I'll tell thee/Little Lamb I'll tell the (11-12) He tells the lamb, "He is called by thy name/For he calls himself a lamb" (13-14)
             Christ is often described as a lamb and Blake uses the lines, "He is meek and he is mild/He became a little child:/I a child thou a lamb"(14-16) The narrator is the child and he is telling the lamb that there, like Jesus were created by God.
