The flames of the Dog Days keep
Far from your green steep,
Because your shade around
Is always close and deep,
For the changing ground,
The weary oxen, the sheep,
And the cattle that wander round.
Far from your green steep,
Because your shade around
Is always close and deep,
For the changing ground,
The weary oxen, the sheep,
And the cattle that wander round.
