THE SERVILE COW

 
When the cow's in the farmyard, her sense
Of servility's simply immense;
But you meet her again
In the highway or lane,
And she tosses you over the fence.
 

THE GROWING COLT

 
Rough, shaggy colt: the world is all before you:
Blithe be your life, secure of oats and hay;
A little crowd of people to adore you,
And some green resting-place at shut of day!
 
 
The sun is low behind the grey-green trees.
And all the farm grows quiet by degrees.
Among their many lessons this is best:
The animals know when and how to rest!
