From My Grandmother

When I was little,

my grandmother used to say this to me

when she tucked me in at bedtime. 

I loved it and I loved her.

As I walked over the hill one day,

I listened, and heard a mother sheep say:

"In all the green world there's nothing so sweet

As my little lammie, with his nimble feet.

With his eyes so bright,

And his wool so white,

Oh, he is my darling, my heart's delight!"
