The Bureau of Dreams to be Continued

Baa, baa, black sheep,

Have you any wool?

Yes, sir, yes, sir,

Three bags full;

One for the master,

And one for the dame,

And one for the little boy

Who lives down the lane.

Hickory Dickory Dock

Hickory dickory dock.

The mouse ran up the clock.

The clock struck one,

The mouse ran down,

Hickory dickory dock.

Mary Had a Little Lamb

Mary had a little lamb,

Its fleece was white as snow.

And everywhere that Mary went,

The lamb was sure to go.

He followed her to school one day,

That was against the rule.

It made the children laugh and play

To see a lamb at school.

And so the teacher turned him out,

But still he lingered near,

And waited patiently about

Till Mary did appear.

And then he ran to her, and laid

His head upon her arm,

As if he said; “I’m not afraid,

You’ll keep me from all harm.”

“What makes the lamb love Mary so?”

The eager children cry.

“Oh, Mary loves the lamb, you know,”

The teacher did reply.

“And you each gentle animal

In confidence may bind,

And make them follow at your call,

If you are always kind.”
