O’er a mighty pasture goSheep in thousands, silver white;As to-day we see them, soIn the oldest grandsire’s sight.They drink—never waning old—Life from an unfailing brook;There’s a shepherd to their fold,With a silver-horned crook.From a gate of gold let out,Night by night he counts them over;Wide the field they rove about,Never hath he lost a rover:True the dog that helps to lead them,One gay ram in front we see;What the flock, and who doth lead them,Sheep and shepherd, tell to me?

O’er a mighty pasture go
Sheep in thousands, silver white;
As to-day we see them, so
In the oldest grandsire’s sight.
They drink—never waning old—
Life from an unfailing brook;
There’s a shepherd to their fold,
With a silver-horned crook.
From a gate of gold let out,
Night by night he counts them over;
Wide the field they rove about,
Never hath he lost a rover:
True the dog that helps to lead them,
One gay ram in front we see;
What the flock, and who doth lead them,
Sheep and shepherd, tell to me?
