Swā is tōcweden ūs.
Þā bearn ċehhetton for þæm lambe
Þæt cwom in lērninghūs.

Mary had a little lamb
By Sarah Josepha Hale

Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow,
And every where that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go;
He followed her to school one day---
That was against the rule,
It made the children laugh and play,
To see a lamb at school.
