THE SHEPHERD AND HIS SON

The shepherd told his son 
the goat run away you must go
find it so the boy goes out looking
and is gone all day night time come 
and the hasn't come home so shepherd
set out to look for him thinking of the girl
and would like forget he keeps seeing her 
face and the tears in her eyes and what he has done
the son found the goat it was dead from the wolfs
so he lad  grass and fell sleep the shepherd 
found him and sang this song

                    LEMENT DI FEDERICO

IT THE TALE OF THE SHEPHERD
THE POOR BOY WANTED TO RETELL
IT BUT HE FELL SLEEP 
THERE IS OBLIVION IN SLEEP
HOW I ENVY HIM 
I TO WOULD LOVE TO SLEEP
LIKE THAT TO FIND OBLIVION 
AT LEAST SLUMBER
I AM SEACHING ONLY FOR PEACE
I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO FORGET
EVERYTHING BUT EVERY EFFORT 
IS IN VAIN AND BEFOR ME I SEE HER
SWEET FACE PEACE IS EVER TAKEN
FROM ME WHY MUST I SUFFER SO VERY MUCH?
SHE ALWAYS SPEAKS TO MY HEART THE FATAL VISION

OF YOU PLEASE LEAVE ME YOU HURT ME SO DEEPLY.

THE END

Just observational,
