The Vale Of Thames.

Topics: classic

In vale of Thames oft' times are seen             The cattle graze 'mong sweetest green,             Or there contented with their fate             The gentle cows do ruminate.             And enjoy a double pleasure             In re-chewing hidden treasure,             The cow is a kindly creature,             Kind and pleasant in each feature.             About her is a homely charm,             And her the dog should not alarm,             But let all safe guard her from harm,             The gentlest creature on the farm.
