INTERPRETIVE COMMUNITY “Every Reading is misreading” “LAMB” AND “TYGER” 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 ; And what shoulder, & what art , Could twist the sinews of thy heart? Did he smile his work to see? Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
