Explore "Windmills and Stone Stables" by James McIntyre on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Cows suffered in the days of old / For want of water and from cold, / Now of good water they have fill / For it is pumped by the windmill.
No matter how well cows were fed / They suffered cold in their board shed, / But good stone walls now them enfold, / And they are warm and safe from cold.
Now they do enjoy their fodder, / And repay with their full udder, / If bran slops you on cow bestow / Of milk it will increase the flow.
And in your efforts do not halt / But let them daily lick the salt, / And never let the dogs them chase, / But let them walk at their quiet pace.
