Original text and translations

English.png English text 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
