152. Sheep and Lambs

By Katherine Tynan

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 5 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. 10 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, 15 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. 20

All in the April evening, April airs were abroad; I saw the sheep with their lambs, And thought on the Lamb of God.
