A CHILD'S PET

With twice a thousand head of sheep,

But bleated o'er the deep.
Inside the pens we crawled each day,
To sort the living from the dead;
And when we reached the Mersey's mouth,
Had lost five hundred head.
yet every night and day one sheep,
That had no fear of man or sea,
Struck through the bars its pleading face,
And I stroked it.
And to the sheep-men standing near,
"You see", I said", this one tame sheep ?
It seems a child has lost her pet,
And cried herself to sleep.
And every time we passed it by,
Sailing to England's slaughter-house,
Eight ragged sheep-men - tramps and thieves
Would stroke that sheep's black nose.
