Pure

Little Lamb

Sweet and playful as a child
Kept by shepherds meek and mild
Safe from dangers in the wild
Who gave you life and set you free
To roam in fields for all to see.
Little lamb so young and fresh
Who consumed your tender flesh?
        Little Lamb who ate thee,
        Dost thou know who ate thee?
Sweet and playful as a child,
Oh, sweet and playful as a child.
