MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB .
Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow,
And everywhere that Mary went,
The lamb was sure to go.
He followed her to school one day,
Which was against the rule.
It made the children laugh and play
To see a lamb at school.
And so the teacher turned him out,
But still he lingered near,
And waited patiently about
Till Mary did appear
Then he ran to her and laid
His head upon her arm,
As if he said, "I'm not afraid-
You'll keep me from all harm."
"What makes the lamb love
Mary so?"
The eager children cry.
"Oh, Mary loves the lamb, you know,"
The teacher did reply.
And you each gentle animal
In confidence may bind
And make it follow at
your will,
If you are only kind.
