"Someone is absent," the shepherd said 

As over my classbook he bent his head 

"For several Sundays absent too 

So tell me teacher what did you do?"

I sent some cards but they did no good 

I never heard and she never came 

So I decided to drop her name" 

 

He answered gravely, "The fault was mine 

Hundred, no, there were ninety nine

My feet were wounded bruised and torn 

I kept on searching not counting the cost 

And overjoyed when I found the lost"
