All about Little Boy Blue

by Emma Gelders Sterne

And it sounded mighty sweet to the cows in the meadow, like wavy yellow corn;

And it sounded mighty sweet to the woolly sheep, like grass and singing brooks; and it sounded mighty sweet to the white lamb, like his mother calling him.

But to the fairies who lived in the garden it sounded sweetest of all, like dancing in the moonlight.

Little Boy Blue played all day in the garden.
