Luyện nghe bài hát The Absentee

"Someone is absent," the shepherd
As over my classbook he his head
"For several absent too
So tell me what did you do?"

"I didn't as perhaps I should
I some cards but they did no good
I never heard and she never
So I decided to her name"

He answered gravely, "The was mine
Hundred, no, were ninety nine
One was lost and dark and
I sought that sheep that had the fold

The path was and edged with thorns
My feet wounded bruised and torn
I kept on searching not the cost
And overjoyed when I the lost"

Thus spoke the shepherd in tender
"I looked and lo, I was all
But God, a vision, had to me
To his will towards the absentee"
