The "Songs of Innocence and Experience" by William Blake contain complementary poems that each shed light on one another. "The Lamb" when compared with "The Tyger" show the dramatic changes in Blake’s view of the meaning of life and the biblical beliefs at this time. The poems reflect the child-like belief of the world to a darker‚ more sinister society. "The Lamb" was written to sound like a child speaking with an innocent voice.
