Sheep and Lambs
- All in the April evening
- April airs were abroad;
- The sheep with their little lambs
- Passed me by on the road.
- The sheep with their little lambs
- Passed me by on the road;
- All in the April evening
- I thought on the Lamb of God.
- The lambs were weary and crying
- With a weak, human cry.
- I thought on the Lamb of God
- Going meekly to die.
- Up in the blue, blue mountains
- Dewy pastures are sweet;
- Rest for the little bodies,
- Rest for the little feet.
- But for the Lamb of God,
- Up on the hill-top green,
- Only a cross of shame
- Two stark crosses between.
- All in the April evening,
- April airs were abroad;
- I saw the sheep with their lambs,
- And thought on the Lamb of God.
Katharine Tynan Hinkson b.1861
