Poem:(The Lamb)
By William Blake
 IN SAMPLE WORDS:
 Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love are listed as the four “virtues of delight”.
 The speaker states that all people pray to these in times of distress and
thank them for blessings because they represent “ God, our father dear”.
 They are also, however, the characteristics of Man: Mercy is found in the
human heart , Pity in the human face, Peace is a garment that envelops
humans, and love exists in the human “ Form” or body.
 Therefore, all prayers to Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love are directed not
just to God but to “the human form divine,” which all people must love
and respect regardless of their religion or culture.

• Little Lamb who made thee
• Dost thou know who made thee
Gave thee life & bid thee feed.
By the stream & o’er the mead;
Gave thee clothing of delight;
Softest clothing wooly bright;
Gave thee such a tender voice,
Making all the values rejoice!

I am Child & thou a lamb,
We are called by his name.
