A PASTORAL; MEDIEVAL LATIN STUDENNTS' SONG, by                    
First Line: There went out in the dawning light
Last Line: "'come, play with me, my treasure!'"
Subject(s): Children;sympathy; Childhood;empathy


THERE went out in the dawning light,
A little rustic maiden;
Her flock so white, her crook so slight,
With fleecy new wool laden.

Small is the flock, and there you'll see
The she-ass and the wether;
This goat's a he, and that's a she,
The bull-calf and the heifer.

She looked upon the green sward, where
A student lay at leisure:
"What do you there, young sir, so fair?"
"Come, play with me, my treasure!"
