"Mary had a piffling lamb,
Its fleece was white equally 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 run across a lamb at school.

And then the Teacher turned him out,
Merely nevertheless he lingered nearly,
And waited patiently about,
Till Mary did appear;
And and so he ran to her,
and laid His caput upon her arm,
As if he said—"I'yard not afraid—
You lot'll keep me from all harm."

"What makes the lamb love Mary so?"
The eager children weep—
"O, Mary loves the lamb, you know,"
The Teacher did respond;—
"And you lot each gentle beast
In confidence may bind,
-And make them follow at your call,
If y'all are always kind.""

"One ran,
her olfactory organ to the ground,
a rusty shadow
neither hunting nor playing.

One stood;
sat; lay downwardly; stood again.

One never moved,
except to turn her head a little equally nosotros walked.

Finally nosotros drew too close,
and they vanished.
The woods took them back as if they had never been.

I wish I had thought to put my face to the grass.

But we kept walking,
speaking as strangers do when condign friends.

At that place is more and more I tell no one,
strangers nor loves.
This slips into the eye
without hurry, as if it had never been.

And yet, among the copse,
something has changed.

Something looks back from the copse,
and knows me for who I am."

"Speak gently to the herring and kindly to the dogie,
Exist blithesome with the bunny, at barnacles don't express mirth!
Give nuts unto the monkey, and buns unto the bear,
Ne'er hint at currant jelly if y'all chance to see a hare!
Oh, little girls, pray hide your combs when tortoises draw nigh,
And never in the hearing of a pigeon whisper Pie!
Merely give the stranded jelly-fish a shove into the sea,–
Be e'er kind to animals wherever you may be!

Oh, make not game of sparrows, nor faces at the ram,
And ne'er allude to mint sauce when calling on a lamb.
Don't bristles the thoughtful oyster, don't dare the cod to crimp,
Don't crook the superhighway, or always endeavor to pot the playful shrimp.
Tread lightly on the turning worm, don't bruise the butterfly,
Don't ridicule the wry-neck, nor sneer at salmon-fry;
Oh, ne'er please to make dogs fight, nor bantams disagree,–
Exist always kind to animals wherever you may be!

Be lenient with lobsters, and ever kind to crabs,
And exist not disrespectful to cuttle-fish or dabs;
Hunt not the Cochin-China, chaff not the ox obese,
And babble non of plumage-beds in company with geese.
Be tender with the tadpole, and permit the limpet thrive,
Be merciful to mussels, don't skin your eels alive;
When talking to a turtle don't mention calipee–
Be always kind to animals wherever you may be."

The Tyger, poems about animals for kids

Epitome: iStock

In the forests of the dark,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder, & what fine art,
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to vanquish,
What dread hand? & what dread anxiety?

What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp!

When the stars threw down their spears,
And water'd sky with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

Tyger! Tyger! burning brilliant
In the forests of the night,
What immortal paw or center
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?"

Hark how the pelting is pouring
Over the roof in the pitch dark night,
And the winds in the wood a-roaring

Father was lost in the pitch-black dark
In simply such a storm equally this is.

Loftier on the lonely mountain
Where the wild men watched and waited;
Wolves in the forest, and bears in the bush,
And I on my path belated.

The rain and the night together
Came down, and the wind came after,
Bending the props of the pino tree roof
And snapping many a rafter.

I crept along in the darkness,
Stunned and bruised and blinded…
Crept to a fir with thick-set boughs,
And a sheltering rock backside information technology.

In that location, from the blowing and raining,
Crouching I sought to hibernate me;
Something rustled, two green eyes shone,
And a wolf lay downward beside me.

Little ane, be not frightened;
I and the wolf together,
Side be side through the long, long night,
Hid from the awful weather.

His wet fur pressed against me;
Each of us warmed the other;
Each of us felt in the stormy dark
That fauna and man was blood brother.

And when the falling forest
No longer crashed in warning,
Each of us went from our hiding place
Forth in the wild wet morning.

Darling, kiss me in payment…
Hark! how the wind is roaring!
Father's house is a amend place
When the stormy rain is pouring."

The donkey, he was hee-hawing so loud
Trying to get the attending of a oversupply
The cows and goats stepped up to come across

Simon, the cat, awoke, puzzled over this
Cruel back to sleep for his daily rest
My farm animals and so joyful and free
Well, no one to see, but simply me!"

Absorbed by mystery and woodsy lore.

It yaps and the stillness is split with a pocketknife,
Notwithstanding all else continues with no disharmonize or strife."

and when it starts to get night
they lower their voices
to antipodal with their own shadows
and with the silence.

and at night bad dreams.

With their gilded rings
on their clever faces,
vivid feathers
and the heart restless with speech…

They are similar everybody,
—the parakeets—
the ones that talk best
have dissever cages."
