To my darling

TO MY
DARLING

MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB,
IT'S 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 PLAY
TO SEE A LAMB AT SCHOOL.

" 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 THEM FOLLOW
AT YOUR CALL,
IF YOU ARE
ALWAYS
KIND.
