MILKING SIAN by WILLIAM SHARP

First Line: GIVE UP THY MILK TO HER WHO CALLS
Last Line: GIVE UP THY MILK TO HER WHO CALLS!
Subject(s): ADVICE; GIFTS & GIVING; HEAVEN; MILK; VOICES; PARADISE; MILKMEN; MILKMAIDS;

Give up thy milk to her who calls
Across the low green hills of Heaven
And stream-cool meads of Paradise!

Across the low green hills of Heaven
How sweet to hear the milking call,
The milking call i' the meads of Heaven:

Stream-cool the meads of Paradise,
Across the low green hills of Heaven.

Give up thy milk to her who calls,
Sweet voiced amid the Starry Seven.
Give up thy milk to her who calls!
