Dear to the heart of which shepherd? There are two shepherds depicted in this painting, and each must give his life for the other. The crippled shepherd boy's crutch is a symbol of the cross he bears in emulation of the object of his joy. In composing this painting, inspiration came from the words of a favorite hymn: "E'en though it be a cross / That raiseth me, / Still all my song shall be / Nearer my God to thee!" (Hymns, no. 100)
