The Shepherd is a poem from William Blake's ''Songs of Innocence'' (1789). This collection of songs was published individually four times before it was combined with the ''Songs of Experience'' for 12 editions which created the joint collection ''Songs of Innocence and of Experience'' (1794). Blake produced all of the illuminated printings himself beginning in 1789. Each publication of the songs has the plates in a different order, and sixteen other plates were published posthumously Ralph Vaughan Williams set the poem to music in his 1958 song cycle ''Ten Blake Songs''. ==Poem== The Shepherd How sweet is the Shepherd's sweet lot! From the morn to the evening he strays; He shall follow his sheep all the day, And his tongue shall be filled with praise. For he hears the lamb's innocent call, And he hears the ewe's tender reply; He is watchful while they are in peace, For they know when their Shepherd is nigh. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Shepherd (Blake)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
