Poems of Home: II. For ChildrenPretty Cow
Jane Taylor (17831824)T
Pleasant milk to soak my bread,
Every day and every night,
Warm, and fresh, and sweet, and white.
Growing on the weedy bank;
But the yellow cowslips eat,
That will make it very sweet.
Where the bubbling water flows,
Where the grass is fresh and fine,
Pretty cow, go there and dine.
