For Thomas Walsh	A

I	-
	-
	-
On nights like this the huddled sheep	B
Are like white clouds upon the grass	C
And merry herdsmen guard their sleep	B
And chat and watch the big stars pass	C
	-
It is a pleasant thing to lie	-
Upon the meadow on the hill	D
With kindly fellowship near by	-
Of sheep and men of gentle will	D
	-
I lean upon my broken crook	E
And dream of sheep and grass and men	F
O shameful eyes that cannot look	E
On any honest thing again	F
	-
On bloody feet I clambered down	G
And fled the wages of my sin	H
I am the leavings of the town	G
And meanly serve its meanest inn	H
	-
I tramp the courtyard stones in grief	I
While sleep takes man and beast to her	J
And every cloud is calling Thief	I
And every star calls Murderer	J

II	-
	-
	-
The hand of God is sure and strong	K
Nor shall a man forever flee	L
The bitter punishment of wrong	K
The wrath of God is over me	L
	-
With ashen bread and wine of tears	M
Shall I be solaced in my pain	N
I wear through black and endless years	O
Upon my brow the mark of Cain	N
	-

	-
	-
Poor vagabond so old and mild	P
Will they not keep him for a night	Q
And She a woman great with child	P
So frail and pitiful and white	Q
	-
Good people since the tavern door	R
Is shut to you come here instead	S
See I have cleansed my stable floor	R
And piled fresh hay to make a bed	S
	-
Here is some milk and oaten cake	T
Lie down and sleep and rest you fair	U
Nor fear O simple folk to take	T
The bounty of a child of care	U
	-

IV	I
	-
	-
On nights like this the huddled sheep	B
I never saw a night so fair	U
How huge the sky is and how deep	B
And how the planets flash and glare	U
	-
At dawn beside my drowsy flock	V
What winged music I have heard	W
But now the clouds with singing rock	V
As if the sky were turning bird	W
	-
O blinding Light O blinding Light	Q
Burn through my heart with sweetest pain	N
O flaming Song most loudly bright	Q
Consume away my deadly stain	N
	-
	-
	-
V	I
	-
	-
The stable glows against the sky	-
And who are these that throng the way	X
My three old comrades hasten by	-
And shining angels kneel and pray	X
	-
The door swings wide I cannot go	Y
I must and yet I dare not see	I
Lord who am I that I should know	Y
Lord God be merciful to me	I
	-
	-

	-
O Whiteness whiter than the fleece	Z
Of new washed sheep on April sod	A2
O Breath of Life O Prince of Peace	Z
O Lamb of God O Lamb of God	A2
