For the
Farm Wife and Family
A short time ago, Mrs. L. H.
Lefever requested the poem,
“The Lost Lamb.”
Thanks to another reader,
Mrs. Charles Felty of Maytown,
“The Lost Lamb” has been
found. Mrs. Felty writes:
“.‘Enclosed is the poem Mrs.
L- H. Lefever requested. I
found it in Baldwin’s Third
Grade Reader. No author was
given. Am glad to send this to
you.”
THE LOST LAMB
Storm upon the mountain,
Rainy torrents beating,
Add the little snow-white lamb
Bleating, ever bleating!
Storm upon the mountain,
Night upon its throne,
And the little snow-white lamb
All alone, alonel

MATH IE SON
Down the road, thg shepherd
Drives his flock from far;
Through the cloud and falling
rain,
Shines no beacon star.
Fast he hurries homeward.
Never hears the moan
Of the pretty snow-white lamb
Left alone, alone!
At the shepherd’s doorway
Stands his little son,
Sees the sheep come running
home,
Counts them,one by one.
He counts them full and fairly,
And misses only one _
It is the little snow-white lamb,
Left alone, alone.

FIRST SEED CATALOG
A bit of the rose that blooms in the spring,
A flash of the .blue like the bluebird’s wing,
Gold like the sunshine "of merry May;
Some lavender too in its array.
And deep in its pages warm and bright
I shall dream away, the winter night,
Drifting along on petulous wing
Of this first gay harbinger of spring.
Up the hills he races.
Breasts the stormy wind,
Runs through fields and wood
land,
Leaves them all behind.
Storm upon the mountain,
Night upon its throne,
There he finds the little lantb
Left alone, alone^
Struggling, panting, sobbfng,
Falling on the ground,
’Round the pretty creature’s
neck
Both his arms are wound-
Soon upon his shoulders
AH its bleating dope
Home he carries the little lamb
Left alone, alone!
