Elizabeth Siddal: Shepherd Turned Sailor

Elizabeth (Lizzie) Siddal

(1829-1862)

 

Shepherd Turned Sailor

Now Christ ye save yon bonny shepherd

Sailing on the sea;

Ten thousand souls are sailing there

But they belong to Thee.

If he is lost then all is lost

And all is dead to me.

 

My love should have a grey head-stonee

And green moss at his feet

And clinging grass above his breast

Whereon his lambs could bleat,

And I should know the span of earth

Where some day I might sleep.
