Thank you, pretty cow, that made
Pleasant milk to soak my bread,
Every day and night,
Warm, and fresh, sweet and white
Do not chew the hemlock rank,
Growing by the weedy bank,
But the yellow cowslips eat,
They perhaps will make it sweet
Where the purple violets grow,
Where the bubbling water flows,
Where the grass is fresh and fine,
Pretty cow, go there to dine
- Ann Taylor
(1782-1866)
