THE COW by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE FRIENDLY COW ALL RED AND WHITE
Last Line: AND EATS THE MEADOW FLOWERS.
Subject(s): COWS;
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,
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,
She walks among the meadow grass
And eats the meadow flowers.
