The Dog.
The dog is not of mountain breed;
Its motions, too, are wild and shy;
With something, as the shepherd thinks,
Unusual in its cry.
Nor is there anyone in sight
All round, in hollow or on height;
Nor shout nor whistle strikes his ear;
What is the creature doing here?
Nor shout nor whistle strikes his ear;
What is the creature doing here?
