What type of poetry is "the lamb"? a. sonnet c. free verse b. lyrical d. pastoral

B. Lyrical

Explanation:

The lyric type of poetry reveals the speaker's thoughts and emotions using a regular rhyme scheme and meter. The poem "The Lamb", by William Blake, is an example of such type of poetry. We can observe those characteristics:

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 vales rejoice!  

        Little Lamb who made thee  

        Dost thou know who made thee [...]

A sonnet consists of 14 lines, but the structure and rhyme scheme may vary according to the kind - Shakespearean or Italian.

A free verse has no regular rhythm and the lines do not rhyme.

Pastoral does not refer to the structure of the poem, but to its theme. A pastoral poem idealizes rural life and landscapes.

in   ¨and yet the books¨   by czelaw miloz the tone is positive since it tells us that when we touch a book, it starts to live and the perspective is in the third person and turns once into the first person. in "the rhinoceros" by eugene ionesco the tone is illogical and absurd   and the perspective is in the third person since it is a play.
