Innocent of London quackeries, I strolled forth with the full hope of laying me down on a velvet carpet of grass the birds carolling around me and, perchance, a flock of lambkins, tunefully baying to their mammas!! "Said I to myself," when I reached these fields, "what a fool I am!" I had contemplated a doze on the grass.
Midsummer days! And it's oh for my Love and the dark that plights Midsummer nights! O Midsummer nights! There is a burst for you! And we will let the poets of spring, with their lambkins and their catkins and the rest, match this poem of William Henley's if they can. The royal months are ours, and we love the reign of the rose.
The browsing herds passed from vale to vale, the swains sang from the bluebell-teeming groves, and nymphs, with eglantine and roses in their neatly-braided hair, went hand in hand to the flowery mead to weave garlands for their lambkins.
They divided the song into solos and chorus; and the solo sang very solemnly, "And one lake, like another, From water is made." And then again, "And because they forgot it, It hurt not a bit." And the chorus took it up with, "And the lambkins, and the lambkins." Then they laughed so that they were almost dead, and were forced to be still for very fatigue and want of breath.

"Sawney," the tall girl said sternly, "as you have filed objections to being tried by fire according to the ancient and honorable custom of Lakeview lambkins, you shall be treated as a robber No! A pirate. You shall be made to walk the plank." "Well," said Rhoda, rather scornfully. She did not see anything funny in all this. "It will be a pretty deep well you will plop into," threatened Amelia.
"'Oh, 'twas in the month of May, When the lambkins sport and play, As I walked out to gain raycrayation, I espied a comely maid. Sequestrin' in the shade On her beauty I gazed wid admiraytion, No, Pether, you never could; the Mullins is good men right good men, but they couldn't do it."
"And a sad little boy, And a very gay maid; And a lake like another, That from water is made." Laughing and singing, Stineli went on, "And the lambkins, and the lambkins, They jumped up so high, And all were most merry, And did not know why. "And a boy and a girl By the lake-side did sit, And because they forgot it, It hurt not a bit."
Anna, the oldest sister, was so beautiful that the sheep stopped feeding when she went among them; Stana, the second, was so lovely that the wolves watched the herd when she was the shepherdess, but Laptitza, the youngest, who had a skin as white as the foam of milk, and hair as soft as the wool of the lambkins, was as beautiful as both of her sisters put together, beautiful as only she herself could be.
Now a busy spelling and pronouncing began; then followed the multiplication-table, and, lastly, the singing. For this the teacher brought out his old fiddle and tuned it. Then they began, and all shouted at the top of their lungs, "Little lambkins, come down From the bright sunny height," and the teacher played the accompaniment.
