Subject(s): Animals; Lambs
First Line: When o'er the wold the heedless lamb
Last Line: And bounds with pleasure when they meet!
Subject(s): Animals; Lambs
WHEN o'er the wold the heedless lamb
Hath, till the dusky twilight, strayed,
His simple plaints cry 'Here I am,
Of night and solitude afraid.'
But if, far off, his dam he hears, Echoing oft the mournful bleat,
He runs, and stops, and hopes, and fears,
And bounds with pleasure when they meet!
