Sheep and Lambs
Katharine HinksonAll in the April morning,
April airs were abroad;
The sheep with their little lambs
Pass’d me by on the road.The sheep with their little lambs
Pass’d me by on the road;
All in an 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.Rest 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.
