Discuss the lyrical beauty of Blake in "The Lamb."

Lyrical poetry is a term that is used to refer to poetry
that is more interested in exploring thoughts and feelings than telling a story. This
poem concerns the admiration of "the lamb" and as the speaker asks who made the lamb, we
are told that it was Christ the Redeemer. The speaker identifies himself as a child,
linking his own innocence and that of the lamb to the larger symbolic innocence and
purity of Christ. Note the way in which the poem creates an emotional response of joy,
protectiveness and tenderness. Consider the following section from the
poem:

Gave
thee clothing of delight,

Softest clothing, wooly,
bright;

Gave thee such a tender
voice,

Making all the vales
rejoice?

Little Lamb, who made
thee?

Dost thou know who made
thee?

The imagery that is
employed, such as describing the lamb's wool as "clothing of delight / Softest clothing,
wooly, bright," and the "tender voice" of the lamb and the image of the vales that
"rejoice" all help to create the emotional response of childlike joy and
protectiveness.
