This too is from a Humboldt quote praising Semetic poetry. Had no luck finding anything shepherd-y to solve this. Folk tales?
Der Ausdruck desselben offenbart sich großartig und belebend in **Hirtensagen,** wie in der Seher- und Prophetenschule, deren hohe Begeisterung ,ahnungsvoll auf die Zukunft gerichtet ist.
As always, TIA

Comment: "I'm not quite sure what I'm going to use, but it will be a bit closer to shepherds' lore than anything with 'pastoral.' To most minds, pastoral carries with it too much of a Romantic, bucolic view of nature, which doesn't fit here. "

That's an example for what I would call a "Hirtensage" in German. Hope that helps you to come to a conclusion. ;-)
