Catching the Ox

Last desperate effort, got him!
Hard to control, powerful and wild,
The ox sprints up a hill and at the top.
Disappears into the misty clouds.

Where's the rest of the poem? This is in the middle somewhere.

Yup, this is the fourth of the Ox herding poems. Previous of the series are here. The rest are in the future.
