The Cow

                    Cow, Cow!

                    I and thou

Are looking at each other's eyes:

You are lying on the grass

Eating every time I pass,

And you do not seem to be

Ever in perplexity:

You are good I'm sure, and not

Fit for nothing but the pot:

For your bearing is so kind,

And your quietness so wise:

                    Cow, Cow!

                    I and thou

Are looking at each other's eyes.
