The Shepherd Of Nymphs

________________________________________________
Title:     The Shepherd Of Nymphs
Author: Henry Van Dyke [More Titles by Van Dyke]

The nymphs a shepherd took
To guard their snowy sheep;
He led them down along the brook,
And guided them with pipe and crook,
Until he fell asleep.

But when the piping stayed,
Across the flowery mead
The milk-white nymphs ran out afraid:
O Thyrsis, wake! Your flock has strayed,--
The nymphs a shepherd need.

[The end]
Henry Van Dyke's poem: Shepherd Of Nymphs
