by William Henry Davies (1871 - 1940)
The two flocks
Language: English
Where are you going to now, white sheep, Walking the green hill-side; To join that whiter flock on top, And share their pride? Stay where you are, you silly sheep: When you arrive up there, You'll find that whiter flock on top : Clouds in the air!
