The Shepherd of Nymphs

    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.
