As I walked down a lane this morn,
I heard a sweet voice cry, Come, Come!
And then I saw ten dull, fat cows
Begin to race like horses home;
Like horses in their pace,
Though lacking horses' grace.
That voice, which did uplift those feet
Of cows, uplifted mine likewise;
For, with a heart so light, I walked
Until the sweat did blind my eyes;
And all the way back home,
I heard her cry, Come, Come!
