Sung by the Shepherds Lyrics – Virgil Thomson
Singer: Virgil Thomson
Title: Sung by the Shepherds
Welcome all wonders in one sight!
Eternity shut in a span!
Summer in winter! day in night!
Heaven in earth! and God in man!
Great little one, whose all-embracing birth
Lifts earth to Heaven, stoops Heaven to earth!
Welcome, tho’ nor to gold, nor silk
Twin sister seas of virgin’s milk
With many a rarely-temper’d kiss
That breathes at once both maid and mother
Warms in the one, cools in the other
She sings Thy tears asleep, and dips
She spreads the red leaves of Thy lips
That in their buds yet blushing lie
She ‘gainst those mother diamonds tries
The points of her young eagle’s eyes.*
Welcome—tho’ not to those gay flies
Gilded i’ th’ beams of earthly kings
Slippery souls in smiling eyes—
But to poor shepherds, homespun things
Whose wealth’s their flocks, whose wit’s to be
Well read in their simplicity
Yet, when April’s husband show’rs
Shall bless the fruitful Maia’s bed
We’ll bring the first-born of her flowers
To kiss Thy feet, and crown Thy head
To Thee, dread Lamb ! whose love must keep
The shepherds while they feed their sheep
To Thee, meek Majesty, soft King
Of simple graces and sweet loves!
Each of us his lamb will bring
Each his pair of silver doves!
At last, in fire of Thy fair eyes
Ourselves become our own best sacrifice!

Sung by the Shepherds – Terjemahan / Translation
Selamat datang semua keajaiban dalam satu pemandangan!
Keabadian ditutup dalam rentang!
Musim panas di musim dingin! Hari di Malam!
Surga di bumi! Dan Tuhan dalam Manusia!
Si kecil yang hebat, yang kelahirannya
Mengangkat bumi ke surga, membungkuk surga ke bumi!
Selamat datang, Tho ‘Nor To Gold, Nor Silk
Twin Sister Seas of Milk Virgin
Dengan banyak ciuman yang jarang terjadi
Itu sekaligus bernafas baik pelayan dan ibu
Menghangat dalam satu, mendingin di yang lain
Dia menyanyikan air matamu tertidur, dan mencelupkan
Dia menyebarkan daun merah bibirmu
Yang ada di kuncup mereka namun memerah bohong
Dia mendapatkan ibu yang diani itu mencoba
Titik -titik mata elang mudanya.*
Selamat datang – tidak untuk lalat gay itu
Gilded I ‘th’ balok raja duniawi
Jiwa yang licin di mata tersenyum—
Tetapi bagi para gembala yang malang, hal -hal yang diterangi rumah
Yang kekayaannya adalah kawanan mereka, yang kecerdasannya
Bacalah dengan baik dalam kesederhanaan mereka
Namun, ketika suami April menunjukkan
Akan memberkati tempat tidur Maia yang bermanfaat
Kami akan membawa bunganya yang pertama dilahirkan
Untuk mencium kakimu, dan memahkotai kepalanya
Bagi Anda, domba takut! yang cintanya harus disimpan
Para gembala saat mereka memberi makan domba mereka
Untukmu, Yang Mulia, Raja Lembut
Rahmat sederhana dan cinta manis!
Masing -masing dari kita domba akan dibawa
Setiap sepasang merpati peraknya!
Akhirnya, dalam api matamu yang adil
Diri kita menjadi pengorbanan terbaik kita sendiri!
