The Cow.
Thank you, pretty cow, that made
Pleasant milk, to soak my bread;
Ev'ry day, and ev'ry night,
Warm and fresh, and sweet and white.
Pleasant milk, to soak my bread;
Ev'ry day, and ev'ry night,
Warm and fresh, and sweet and white.
Do not chew the hemlock rank,
Growing on the weedy bank;
But the yellow cowslips eat,
They will make it very sweet.
Growing on the weedy bank;
But the yellow cowslips eat,
They will make it very sweet.
Where the purple violet grows,
Where the bubbling water flows,
Where the grass is fresh and fine,
Pretty cow, go there and dine.
