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