THE BLIND LAMB.
'T was summer, and softly the ocean
Sang, sparkling in light and heat,
And over the water and over the land
The warm south wind blew sweet.
Sang, sparkling in light and heat,
And over the water and over the land
The warm south wind blew sweet.
And the children played in the sunshine,
And shouted and scampered in glee
O'er the grassy slopes, or the weed-strewn beach,
Or rocked on the dreaming sea.
And shouted and scampered in glee
O'er the grassy slopes, or the weed-strewn beach,
Or rocked on the dreaming sea.
They had roamed the whole bright morning,
The troop of merry boys,
And in they flocked at noontide,
With a clamor of joyful noise.
The troop of merry boys,
And in they flocked at noontide,
With a clamor of joyful noise.
And they bore among them gently
A wee lamb, white as snow;
And, "O mamma, mamma, he's blind!
He can't tell where to go.
A wee lamb, white as snow;
And, "O mamma, mamma, he's blind!
He can't tell where to go.
