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

German translation

Überall an jenem Frühlingsabend
umgab uns der Hauch des April.
Die Schafe mit ihren Lämmlein
auf meinem Wege ich traf.

Die Schafe mit ihren Lämmlein
kreuzten meinen Pfad.
Überall an jenem Frühlingsabend
Dacht’ ich an Gottes Lamm

Die Lämmlein war’n müde und schrien
mit schwachem, menschlichen Laut.
Ich dachte an Gottes Lamm,
wie es fromm zum Sterben ging.

Hoch in den tiefblauen Bergen
sind die taufrischen Weiden so grün.
Ruht aus, Ihr kleinen Leiber,
Ruht aus, Ihr zarten Füss’!!

Doch für das Lamm Gottes
gibt’s auf dem Gipfel so grün
nur ein Kreuz der Schande
zwei nackte Kreuze daneb’n.

Überall an jenem Frühlingsabend
umgab uns der Hauch des April.
Ich sah die Schafe und Lämmlein
und gedachte Gottes’ Lamm!
