The Shepherd's Lament
On yonder lofty mountain
A thousand times I stand
And on my staff reclining
Look down on the smiling land
My grazing flocks then I follow
My dog protecting them well
I find myself in the valley
But how, I scarcely can tell
The whole of the meadow is cover'd
With flowers of beauty rare
I pluck them, but pluck them unknowing
To whom the offering to bear
In rain and storm and tempest
I tarry beneath the tree
But closed remaineth yon portal
'Tis all but a vision to me
High over yonder dwelling
There rises a rainbow gay
But she from home hath departed
And wander'd far, far away
Yes, far away bath she wander'd
Perchance e'en over the sea
Move onward, ye sheep, then, move onward
Full sad the shepherd must be
