We often see many authors that write different poems with similar themes. Believing in something very strongly and passionately, these authors tend reflect this nature in their work. They reflect personal experience, either theirs or others'. In the poems The Lamb and The Tiger, by William Blake, the poet discusses similar themes in both poems.

The fact that there is biblical discourse in this poem makes it inspiring and full of hope. We see another reference to religion in line 15, "He is meek; and He is mild". This quotation is found in the New Testament where God is believed to be all forgiving. Throughout the poem, he questions how the lamb was created, asking "Dost thou know who made thee?"
