William Blake, Songs of Innocence: The Shepherd
How sweet is the Shepherds sweet lot,
From the morn to the evening he strays:
He shall follow his sheep all the day
4
And his tongue shall be filled with praise.
For he hears the lambs innocent call.
And he hears the ewes tender reply,
He is watchful while they are in peace,
8
For they know when their Shepherd is nigh.
