  1. As when some heifer, seeking for her steer
  2. through woodland and deep grove, sinks wearied out
  3. on the green sedge beside a stream, love-lorn,
  4. nor marks the gathering night that calls her home—
  5. as pines that heifer, with such love as hers
  6. may Daphnis pine, and I not care to heal.
