First Line: I wonder where the sheep is
Last Line: And dining in a tree.
Subject(s): Memory
I wonder where the sheep is
Whose wool is in my socks,
And where the little silkworm died
Whose silk is in the clocks?
My clothes which in the latest vogue
Cling to me gracefully
Last year were munching in a field
And dining in a tree.
