A poem by William Blake

The Shepherd

________________________________________________
Title:     The Shepherd
Author: William Blake [More Titles by Blake]

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.
