Как прекрасно призванье твоё,
О, Пастух! Ты с утра на ногах,
Наблюдаешь овечек житьё,
И весь день похвала на устах.
То ягнёнка звучит голосок,
То овечки ответный призыв.
Ты за всеми следишь, словно Бог,
Миром паству свою одарив.

Послесловие:
William Blake
Songs of Innocence. 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.
