"The Lamb" is a poem by William Blake, first published in his collection "Songs of Innocence" in 1789. The poem is one of Blake's most famous works, embodying his profound skill in merging simplicity and profundity. It is written in the form of a child's innocent inquiry to a lamb, questioning the nature of its existence. Through this dialogue, Blake explores themes of innocence, creation, and the relationship between the creator and the created.

The poem consists of two stanzas, each containing five rhymed couplets. Repetition is a key stylistic feature in "The Lamb," emphasizing the gentle and rhythmic qualities of the verse, which mirrors the tenderness of the poem's subject. The language is straightforward and accessible, yet it carries deep symbolic meaning, characteristic of Blake's work.

In "The Lamb," Blake employs the lamb as a central symbol, representing innocence and purity. It also serves as a metaphor for Jesus Christ, referred to as the "Lamb of God" in Christian theology. The poem's speaker, a child, asks the lamb about its origins and life, eventually revealing that the lamb's creator is also called a lamb, drawing a parallel between the animal and the divine.

The work is a critical piece within Blake's oeuvre, as it contrasts with the darker and more complex "Songs of Experience," which he published five years later in 1794. "The Lamb" is often paired with the poem "The Tyger" from "Songs of Experience," as the two explore contrasting themes of innocence and experience, good and evil, and the dual nature of creation.

"The Lamb" is not only a cornerstone of English literature but also an important text for understanding Blake's mystical and visionary approach to art and poetry. It reflects his unique perspective on religion, philosophy, and the human condition, making it a subject of study for scholars interested in Romantic literature and theological symbolism.

As a work that has been widely analyzed and taught, "The Lamb" continues to resonate with readers for its lyrical beauty and its profound exploration of existential questions through the innocent eyes of a child.
