THE LAMB IN THE SKY.
"There is a lamb," the children said;—
Sweet in the grass they saw it lie.
But the Baby lifted his golden head,
And looked for the lamb in the sky.
Sweet in the grass they saw it lie.
But the Baby lifted his golden head,
And looked for the lamb in the sky.
Then the children laughed as they saw him look
At the high white clouds, but I know not why,—
For (have I not read in a beautiful Book?)
There is a Lamb in the sky.
At the high white clouds, but I know not why,—
For (have I not read in a beautiful Book?)
There is a Lamb in the sky.
