It is evening; the sun is setting, and the shepherd, who tends the
flocks of little Mary's Papa, is, with his good little dog, driving the
sheep to the fold, where they will rest in safety. That is his cottage
which stands on the other side of the road.
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.

If you look on the other side of the leaf, you will see the picture of
the park that little Mary one day passed through, where she first saw
the deer.

Should you not have liked to have been with her, and jumped and played
on the lawn, and in the shrubberies.
When little Mary was cold, 'twas Mamma's desire,
That in this pretty stove should be made a nice fire.
