Overview
Mary had a little lamb, Its fleece was white as snow, And ev’rywhere 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 play To see a lamb at school. So the Teacher turned him out But still he lingered near, And waited patiently about Till Mary did appear; And 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, “O, Mary loves the lamb you know,” The Teacher did reply; “And you each gentle animal In confidence may bind, And make them follow at your call If you are always kind.”
