CHILD AND LAMB.

CHILD AND LAMB.

Child.

HAT are you all soft and white,
Staring with your eyes so bright?
Do you live out here?
Did your mother say you might
Play here in the warm sunlight?
Do you stay here all the night ?
Tell me, woolly dear!

Zamb.

HAT is this, so like a Rose,
Just the biggest kind that grows?
Can it run and eat?
Has no wool, and just two toes!
Will it fear me, do you s’pose,
If I kiss it with my nose,—
Will you, little sweet ?
Llizabeth S.. Tucker.
