You can also print out the jumbled poem to cut up and reassemble in the classroom. Either way, take your time, enjoy the process, and discover how the poet's words come together to create something truly beautiful.

By the stream & o'er the mead;
         Little Lamb I'll tell thee,
         Dost thou know who made thee 
Gave thee life & bid thee feed. 
Softest clothing wooly bright;
Gave thee such a tender voice,
         Little Lamb who made thee 
         Little Lamb God bless thee.
For he calls himself a Lamb: 
We are called by his name.
Making all the vales rejoice! 
         Little Lamb God bless thee. 
He is meek & he is mild, 
He became a little child: 
Gave thee clothing of delight,
Little Lamb who made thee 
I a child & thou a lamb, 
         Dost thou know who made thee 
He is called by thy name,
         Little Lamb I'll tell thee!
