Its a Sheeps Soul

O cherisher! Of hairy goats, rocky ridges, Still vales and white-woolen sheep; Of my love, of melodies, of muses, of her beau; It’s the soul of a forgotten sheep Looking for her poor pastor, his white drove And, the rest in shade; Or ‘tis a shepherd, a shepherdess more, Singing in solitude, rhyme, underneath a tree In the relaxed midday of jubilant springs, Ballads, lounged beside the sitting slept sheep. Or; ‘tis that boy in the wild highs Playing floyera reclined on the mossy rock— Goats bleat and forget to graze; Waking up the beasts, waking up the breeze, Eared by the deer, cheered by the crows, ’lauded by the woods, echoed by the vale. Free her! Guide her! For it says so sweet: My abode’s among the weeds, The wild flowers grow, the stony meads live.
