MY LITTLE LAMB
My 'little lamb', why are you blue?
My rod - my staff - could comfort you.
Let your lord shepherd stop on by;
With me I'll make you down to lie.
Through pastures green I will lead you,
The world will have a different view
When I've made your cup overflow
You'll find it hard to let me go.
A table furnished, set to eat,
I present myself as your treat.
Partake, I urge, forget your woes.
I'll show my love before your foes.

You'll find it hard to let me go.
A table furnished, set to eat,
I present myself as your treat.
Partake, I urge, forget your woes.
I'll show my love before your foes.

This is a great piece, Solomon. The gentle reference as she being the sheep was great and it all flowed so smoothly!

Quite nice. Considering the amount of "rodding" King David did it's also quite fitting.
Well done brother Solomon

I recently read when prophet Natan rebuked him for taking Bathsheba he used sheep to symbolise the respective womenfolk of the King and Uriah.
In England's history King Charles II was a notorious rodder, none of his many children were born in wedlock. He was ironically satirised as King David and one of his mistresses as Bathsheba in John Dryden's poem Absalom and Achitophel.
