Dost+thou+know+who+made+thee?

In the first stanza, the speaker is a child. This child is asking the lamb where it came from. The child also asks the lamb who it eats and how it got to eat this way. Another question the child asks is what it wears, referring to the clothing, or wooly. How and why the lamb bleats is also asked by the child.

The question "who made thee" is simple for a child to understand, but it also has a larger meaning. The origin of life is a timeless question and debate.

A child talking to an animal is very believable so this is a heartfelt poem.

The first stanza has alot of references to Psalm 23. This suggests that the poem is trying to make people see Jesus as their Savior.
