It is evening; thesun is setting, andthe shepherd, whotends the flocks oflittle Mary's Papa,is, with his good littledog, driving the[3]sheep to the fold,where they will restin safety. That ishis cottage whichstands on the otherside of the road.[4]
The tongs stood in the room where Mary oft staid, And the lantern gave light to the hall where she play'd.
The table was placed in the corner quite snug, And the milk for her breakfast was put in the jug.
