When the nights are long and the dust is deep, The shepherd s at the door;Hillo, the little white woolly sheepThat he drives on before! Never a sound does the shepherd make; His flock is as still as he;Under the boughs their road they take, Whatever that road may be. And one may catch on a shriveling brier,And one drop down at the door, And some may lag, and some may tire,But the rest go on before. The wind is that shepherd so still and sweet,And his sheep are the thistledown; All August long, by alley and street,He drives them through the town. Lizette Woodworth Reese. Qf. f3f W ••))i)f y m
