Read the following poem carefully before answering the question.
The Shepherd’s Watch
The valley sleeps beneath the early dew,
And silent stars begin their nightly round.
I walk the path that older shepherds knew,
My quiet footsteps falling on the ground.
They say the world has moved to grander schemes,
Of iron wheels and cities built of stone;
Yet here I tend my sheep and dream my dreams,
Content to watch the turning hills alone.
Let others chase the gold of hurried streets;
I find my wealth where sky and pasture meets.
