Question

To whom or what does William Blake’s “The Lamb” direct its praise? (1 point)

animals
the gentleness of nature
Jesus
the "Little Lamb"

Answer 1

The answer is C: Jesus

In the poem "The Lamb", William Blake directs its praise to Jesus, who is called "the Lamb of God" in the Bible. The poet speaks and makes questions, and is talking to the lamb, but the subject is another: Who made thee; Gave thee life etc. Then, he answers: I'll tell thee...He is called by thy name...a Lamb meek and mild.

Answer 2

I would say that William Blake directs the poem's praise to the gentleness of nature. The book where all these poems are written is called Songs of Innocence, so it is obvious what he is talking about.
