Lina and her Lamb
I
THIS is Lina, with her lamb,
Lina and her lamb together,
In the pleasant, flowery weather.
“What a happy lamb I am!”—
That is what the lamb would say
If the lamb could only speak—
“Lina loves me all the week;
Lina loves me night and day;
Lina loves me all the hours;
Lina goes to gather flowers;
Lina knows them, Lina finds them;
Lina takes the flowers, and binds them
In a necklace for her lamb!”—
Happy Lina, happy lamb!
Lina and her lamb together,
In the pleasant flowery weather.
II
This is Lina with her lamb,
Lina and her lamb together,
In the snowy winter weather;
“What a happy lamb I am!”
That is what the lamb would say
If the lamb could only speak—
“Lina loves me, Lina heeds me,
Lina carries me, and feeds me!”
Happy Lina, happy lamb!
Lina and her lamb together,
In the freezing winter weather.
