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.
