Subject(s): Accidents; Sheep
ONE day in the Highlands while taking a stroll
I saw a stray sheep down a precipice roll;
A boy was let down by a rope o'er the brink,
And the sheep was pull'd up by the horns: you may think
What a beautiful picture it was, the whole scene.
"A picture!—a bas-relief surely you mean!"
