Question

9. Explain the following lines.

i) He became a little child.
I. a child, and thou a lamb,
We are called by His name
ii) He is called by thy name,
For He calls Himself a Lamb​

Answer 1

The poem begins with the question, “Little Lamb, who made thee?” The speaker, a child, asks the lamb about its origins: how it came into being, how it acquired its particular manner of feeding, its “clothing” of wool, its “tender voice.” In the next stanza, the speaker attempts a riddling answer to his own question: the lamb was made by one who “calls himself a Lamb,” one who resembles in his gentleness both the child and the lamb. The poem ends with the child bestowing a blessing on the lamb.
