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 [3] sheep to the fold, where they will rest in safety. That is his cottage which stands on the other side of the road. [4]
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.
