The Shepherd

William Blake·1757–1827
Lines:8Movement:Romanticism
How sweet is the Shepherd's sweet lot!From the morn to the evening he stays;He shall follow his sheep all the day,And his tongue shall be filled with praise. For he hears the lambs' innocent call,And he hears the ewes' tender reply;He is watching while they are in peace,For they know when their Shepherd is nigh.
