by Benjamin Franklin King (1857 - 1894)

Language: English 
The tall pines pine,
The pawpaws pause
And the bumble-bee bumbles all day;
The eavesdropper drops,
And the grasshopper hops,
While gently the cow slips away.

Composition:

    Set to music by Gary Bachlund (b. 1947), "The Cow Slips Away", 2005 [ mezzo-soprano or tenor and piano ], from Injun Summah, no. 3
