“The Shepherd” by William Blake 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (28 Nov 1757 – 12 Aug 1827)
How sweet is the Shepherd’s sweet lot,
From the morn to the evening he strays:
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 watchful while they are in peace,
For they know when their Shepherd is nigh.
