Alfred Austin - "`Shepherd swains that feed your flocks"Alfred Austin - "`Shepherd swains that feed your flocks"
Work rating: Low


`Shepherd swains that feed your flocks `Mong the grassy—rooted rocks, While I still see sun and moon, Grant to me this simple boon: As I sit on craggy seat, And your kids and young lambs bleat, Let who on the pierced pipe blows Play the sweetest air he knows. And, when I no more shall hear Grasshopper or chanticleer, Strew green bay and yellow broom On the silence of my tomb; And, still giving as you gave, Milk a she—goat at my grave. For, though life and joy be fled, Dear are love—gifts to the dead.`
