Question

When I sailed out of Baltimore
With twice thousand head of sheep
They would not eat, they would not drink
But bleated over the deep
Inside the pens, we crawled each day
To sort the living from the dead
And when we reached Mersey’s mouth
Had lost five hundred head
That had no fear of man or sea
Struck through the bars its pleading face
And I stroked it
And to the sheep-men standing near
“You see”, I said, “this one tame sheep?”
It seems a child has lost her pet
“And cried herself to sleep.”
And every time we passed it by
Sailing to England’s Slaughter-house
Eight ragged sheep-men-tramps training and thieves
Would stroke that sheep’s black nose.
