The varied sounds of poultry were heard from the well-stocked farm-yard; the bees hummed from their hives in the garden; the cattle Lowed in the rich meadow; while the crammed barns and ample stacks bore proof of an abundant harvest.
"Bracebridge Hall, or The Humorists"
Washington Irving
Cattle, driven from their accustomed feeding grounds, wandered aimlessly over the still-unburned range, and Lowed often in the night as they drifted before the flame-heated wind.
"Lonesome Land"
B. M. Bower
Gradually the larks began their songs high in the air; the sparrows on the roof twittered; the cows Lowed; the horses rattled their halters; the doves began cooing; the chickens on their roost and the pigs in their pens all awoke and gave signs of comfort or discomfort.
"Landolin"
Berthold Auerbach
