Appendix to Poetical SketchesSong by an Old Shepherd
W
And jewel hangs at shepherd’s nose,
We can abide life’s pelting storm,
That makes our limbs quake, if our hearts be warm.
And Truth a lantern to our path,
We can abide life’s pelting storm,
That makes our limbs quake, if our hearts be warm.
Innocence is a winter’s gown.
So clad, we’ll abide life’s pelting storm,
That makes our limbs quake, if our hearts be warm.
