the evening comes, the shepherd will not be leading
his flock back to the home-place and their normal
sheepfold. Springtime grazing and the coming of the
summer heat have left the pastures bare; therefore he
must seek new fields in which his sheep can graze.
Today, the shepherd turns in the direction of the high
