"The Lamb" is a poem written by William Blake published in "Songs of Innocence" in 1776. It is the counterpart to another Blake's poem called "The Tyger" which was also published in "Songs of Innocence".
In the first stanzas of "The Lamb", the poem has a naive and innocent tone, with the kid asking the questions with belief and hope that they are going to be answered. The tone of the poem is a gentle one in the first stanzas and a proud one in the second half of the poem, relating to the theme of purity and Christianity and how the child is confident in his believes.
"The Tyger" is the opposite of "The Lamb" when it comes to meaning and tone. It's tone is aggressive, dark, negative and overall serious to talk not only about the beast that the tyger is, but also as a contrast to the purity that the lamb represents, the tyger represents the other side of the same coin, the darkness and primal ferocity that lies in everything.
