. Wordsworth for the young; selections with an introduction for parents and teachers . What ails thee, yountr One? what? Why pull so at thy cord ?Is it not well with thee ? well both for bed and board ?Thy plot of grass is soft, as green as grass can be ;Eest, little young One, rest; what ist that aileth thee ? ^^m. m-m^mmi 68 THE PET-LAMB. What is it thou wouldst seek ? What iswanting to thy heart ? Thy limbs are they not strong ? And beau-tiful thou art: This grass is tender grass; these flowersthey have no peers; And that green corn all day is rustling inthy ears ! If the sun be shining hot, do but stretch thy woollen chain,This beech is standing by, its covert thou canst gain ;For rain and mountain-storms ! the like thou needst not fear, MJiiH The rain and storm are things that scarcely can come here. East, little young One, rest; thou hast forgot the dayWhen my father found thee first in places far away ;Many flocks were on the hills, but thou wert owned by none,And thy mother from thy side for- evermore was gone. And twice in the day, when the ground is wet with dew,I bring thee draughts of milk, warm milk it is and new. ^ Thy limbs will shortly be twice as stout as they are Ill yoke thee to ray cart like a pony in the plough;My playmate tlioii shalt be; and when the wind is coldOu
