Fifty Christmas Poems for Children, by Florence B. Hyett, [1923], at sacred-texts.com


THE LAMB CHILD

WHEN Christ the Babe was born,
Full many a little lamb
Upon the wintry hills forlorn
Was nestled near its dam:

And, waking or asleep,
Upon His Mother's breast,
For love of her, each mother-sheep
And baby-lamb He blessed.

--JOHN BANISTER TABB
