from George Herbert, 1593-1633

The shepherds sing; and shall I silent be?
My God, no hymn for thee?
My soul’s a shepherd too; a flock it feeds
Of thoughts and words, and deeds.
The pasture is Thy Word; the streams, Thy Grace
Enriching all the place
Shepherd and flock shall sing, and all my powers
Out-sing the daylight hours.
