Lyrics: Anon
Happy is the shepherd's life,
Who from care and noise and strife,
In rural toil he spends each day,
In slumbers glides the night away.
A stranger to the cares of wealth,
Possess'd of nought but peace
And that great blessing, health.
Happy is the shepherd's life,
Who from care and noise and strife,
In rural toil he spends each day,
In slumbers glides the night away.
A stranger to the cares of wealth,
Possess'd of nought but peace
And that great blessing, health.
