The Lamb & The Tyger William Blake “The Lamb” and “The Tyger” are two different poems written by William Blake‚ the first taken from the Songs of Innocence and the second taken from the Songs of Experience. Both poems follow an A-A-B-B rhyme scheme and both focus on the topic of religion. Many sources have recommended the reading of the two poems together and I‚ myself‚ found that it was an experiment worth trying. When I first read “The Lamb” I was sure that it would be a poem with Jesus

Melody is the key component of any song. In my opinion the melody is the identity of a song. I believe music could not exist without melody: It is like having a body but not the brain to help the body function. I think the rhythm controls the melody and‚ paired correctly‚ the harmony adds a little sparkle to the piece.

Just from the poem’s name we can get the information‚ that the poem itself will talk about the Christmas. This poem contains many poetic devices‚ but I will talk about just three of them.
