Young Shepherd living alone Withdrawn from Love's contentment Young Shepherd living in pain His heart long fixed on a shepherd girl And His heart is an open wound of Love
Young Shepherd weeping alone But not from the death of the wound of Love For there is no pain in Love's wound He weeps for He knows she's forgotten Him
And this one thought that His shepherd girl Has forgotten Him Causes Him such pain that he gives Himself up In a foreign land To find His shining one
The Shepherd pitied this one Who drew herself back from the wound of Love To call her He climbed up Love's tree And spread His shining arms And He died
Yet He lives in this open wound of Love And the Shepherd girl then knew that she was loved
