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;That was against the rule;It made the children laugh and playTo see a lamb at school.And so the teacher turned him out,But still he lingered near,And waited patiently aboutTill Mary did appear.Then he ran to her, and laidHis 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 animalIn confidence may bind,And make them follow at your will,If you are only kind.
