SHEEP AND LAMBS.
Reading edition
HE sheep were in the fold at night; And now a new-born lamb Totters and trembles in the light, Or bleats beside its dam. How anxiously the mother tries, With every tender care, To screen it from inclement skies, And the cold morning air! The hail-storm of the east is fled, She seems with joy to swell; While ever, as she bends her head, I hear the tinkling bell. So while for me a mother's prayer Ascends to Heaven above, May I repay her tender care With gratitude and love.
