Mary had a little lamb，
Its fleece was white as snow；
And everywhere that Mary went，
The lamb was sure to go.
Hefollowed her to school one day
That was against the rule；
It made the children laugh and play，
To see a lamb at school.
Sothe teacher turned him out，
But still he lingered near，
Andwaited patiently about，
Till Mary did appear.
Then he ran to her， and laid
His head upon her arm，
Asif he said， "I'm not afraid
You'll keep me from all harm."
"What makes the lamb love Mary so？"
The eager children cry.
"Oh，Mary loves the lamb， you know，"
The teacher did reply.
