Thomas Hardy - The Stranger`s Song
Work rating: Medium

O My trade it is the rarest one,
        Simple shepherds all—
       My trade is a sight to see;
     For my customers I tie, and take `em up on high,
       And waft `em to a far countree!

     My tools are but common ones,
        Simple shepherds all—
       My tools are no sight to see:
     A little hempen string, and a post whereon to swing,
       Are implements enough for me!

     To-morrow is my working day,
        Simple shepherds all—
       To-morrow is a working day for me:
     For the farmer`s sheep is slain, and the lad who did it ta`en,
     And on his soul may God ha` mer-cy!
