威廉·布萊克 |
How sweet is the Shepherd's sweet lot, | 牧童的運氣多么美好, |
From the morn to the evening he strays | 從早到晚他四處來去: |
He shall follow his sheep all the day, | 他整天隨著羊群轉(zhuǎn)悠, |
And his tongue shall be filled with praise. | 他滿口說著贊美的話語。 |
For he hears the lambs' innocent calls | 他聽見羊羔天真的叫喚, |
And he hears the ewes' tender reply, | 他聽見母羊親切的回應, |
He is watchful while they are in peace, | 他守護著,羊群就平安無事, |
For they know when their Shepherd is nigh | 羊群知道牧童離它們很近。 |
