LITTLE LAMBS

The little lambs are born.

Near the waterhole

my mother makes shelters

of green boughs

for the mother sheep.

There

in the shelters

the little lambs are born.

The green boughs

stand close together,

they do not let the snow

nor the wind

nor the sand

come in

to hurt the lambs.

Soon the lambs

will be big enough

to play with me.
