SOLD
HOLIDAY SALE  All paintings sold in December are 20% off my regular prices

As I've mentioned in the past, I often Google topics to find a title for one of my pieces, or for information when writing a post.  Today I googled "cow poems".  I had "A Child's Garden Of Verses" by Robert Louis  Stevenson when I was a child, so when I saw this poem I thought it fit!

Stevenson, Robert Louis (1850–1894).  A Child’s Garden of Verses and Underwoods.  1913.
  
24. The Cow
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,         5
  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,  10
She walks among the meadow grass
  And eats the meadow flowers.
