POEMS
THE SHEPHERD'S LAMENT17 (1802)

Оглавление

  Up yonder on the mountain,

    I dwelt for days together;

  Looked down into the valley,

    This pleasant summer weather.


  My sheep go feeding onward,

    My dog sits watching by;

  I've wandered to the valley,

    And yet I know not why.


  The meadow, it is pretty,

    With flowers so fair to see;

  I gather them, but no one

    Will take the flowers from me.


  The good tree gives me shadow,

    And shelter from the rain;

  But yonder door is silent,

    It will not ope again!


  I see the rainbow bending,

    Above her old abode,

  But she is there no longer;

    They've taken my love abroad.


  They took her o'er the mountains,

    They took her o'er the sea;

  Move on, move on, my bonny sheep,

    There is no rest for me!
