THE COW

Robert Louis Stevenson

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.
