Chapter 15 shepherd song
strangers are welcome you are welcome here
Here is joy perched on every branch
Paleness flies away from every face in a hurry
We don't reap what we plant
Innocence is like a delicate rose
Opening up on every girl's face
Glory surrounds her brow
Jewels of health adorn her neck
Welcome, stranger, to this place,
Where joy doth sit on every bough,
Paleness flies from every face;
We reap not what we do not sow.
Innocence doth like a rose
Bloom on every maidens cheek;
Honor twines around her brows,
The jewel health adorns her neck.
