Salt in, or cornmeal, and other good things.

This is the lambkins’ own big water-trough; Drink, little lambkins, and then scamper off! |

This is the rack where in winter they feed; Hay makes a very good dinner indeed. |
These are the big shears to shear the old sheep;
Dear little lambkins their soft wool may keep.

Here, with its big double doors shut so tight, This is the barn where they all sleep at night. |
