All day long he kept the sheep	A
Far and early from the crowd	B
On the hills from steep to steep	A
Where the silence cried aloud	B
And the shadow of the cloud	B
Wrapt him in a noonday sleep	A
	-
Where he dipped the water's cool	C
Filling boyish hands from thence	D
Something breathed across the pool	C
Stir of sweet enlightenments	D
And he drank with thirsty sense	D
Till his heart was brimmed and full	E
	-
Still the hovering Voice unshed	B
And the Vision unbeheld	B
And the mute sky overhead	B
And his longing still withheld	B
Even when the two tears welled	B
Salt upon that lonely bread	B
	-
Vaguely bless d in the leaves	D
Dim companioned in the sun	F
Eager mornings wistful eves	D
Very hunger drew him on	G
And To morrow ever shone	H
With the glow the sunset weaves	D
	-
Even so to that young heart	B
Words and hands and Men were dear	I
And the stir of lane and mart	B
After daylong vigil here	J
Sunset called and he drew near	I
Still to find his path apart	B
	-
When the Bell with gentle tongue	K
Called the herd bells home again	L
Through the purple shades he swung	K
Down the mountain through the glen	L
Towards the sound of fellow men	L
Even from the light that clung	K
	-
Dimly too as cloud on cloud	B
Came that silent flock of his	D
Thronging whiteness in a crowd	B
After homing twos and threes	D
With the thronging memories	D
Of all white things dreamed and vowed	B
	-
Through the fragrances alone	H
By the sudden silent brook	M
From the open world unknown	H
To the close of speech and book	M
There to find the foreign look	M
In the faces of his own	H
	-
Sharing was beyond his skill	N
Shyly yet he made essay	D
Sought to dip and share and fill	N
Heart's desire from day to day	D
But their eyes some foreign way	D
Looked at him and he was still	N
	-
Last he reached his arms to sleep	A
Where the Vision waited dim	O
Still beyond some deep on deep	A
And the darkness folded him	O
Eager heart and weary limb	O
All day long he kept the sheep	A
