"Little Lamb who made thee,

Dost thou know who made thee,

Gave thee life and bid thee feed

By the stream and o'er the mead;

Gave thee clothing of delight,

Softest clothing wooly bright;

Gave thee such a tender voice,

Making all the vales rejoice!

Little Lamb who made thee

Dost thou know who made thee."

She stopped reading the sweet poem and looked down on her lap to find him sleeping.

She sighed. Of course, he fell asleep because he found the story of the lamb boring.

What's so bad about the poem of the little lamb? At least, it sounded better and much calmer than the Book of Urizen,...

"Little lamb,..." she heard his little voice.

Her ears perked up. She looked down once more and found the little boy staring up at her.

"Aren't you a mischievous little boy?" She playfully marveled.

"May I call you,... Little Lamb?" He asked her, his pair of innocent silver eyes filled with some kind of unknown emotion.

"Yes, you may, dear."

The boy smiled and closed his eyes once more, feeling protected and loved because of her.

"I'll always love and protect you. I promise, Little Lamb."

The girl opened her mouth in surprise. Her heart brimming with bliss, she lovingly stroked his hair.

"And I promise you the same, Vergil." She quietly answered as the boy finally fell asleep.

It was the most beautiful and peaceful day of all. They chose to isolate themselves in that serenely lush garden where no one could bother them.

She looked up at the sky, feeling the soft wind on her flushed face and relishing on the scent of the many fetching flowers, freshly blooming in the early morning.
