THE COW HERD by DIOTIMUS

First Line: UNCALLED THE CATTLE DID AT EVENING GO
Last Line: SLEEPS THE LONG SLEEP, HUSHED BY A LIGHTNING-STROKE.
Subject(s): COWS;
UNCALLED the cattle did at evening go
From fell to farmstead through the falling snow.
Alas! Therimachus beside an oak
Sleeps the long sleep, hushed by a lightning-stroke.
