The Lamb in the Slough

Shepherd Shepherd haste away!
This is not a time to play;
Let not buxom Amaryllis
Hold you by a chain of lilies:
For the youngest of your flock
Underneath a frowning rock
In the mire is sticking fast,
There 'tis like to breathe its last,
While the Raven round it flies
Ready to peck out its eyes.
