The friendly cow all red and white, I love with all my heart: She gives me cream with all her might, To eat with apple-tart. She wanders lowing here and there, And yet she cannot stray, All in the pleasant open air, The pleasant light of day; And blown by all the winds that pass And wet with all the showers, She walks among the meadow grass And eats the meadow flowers. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...JOHNNY SPAIN'S WHITE HEIFER by HAYDEN CARRUTH MARSHALL WASHER by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE COWS AT NIGHT by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE DUN COW AND THE HAG by NORMAN DUBIE THE BIRTHDAY COW by EVE MERRIAM COWS by ALICIA SUSKIN OSTRIKER A GOOD PLAY by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON |
