James McIntyre(1828?–1906) · Poems of James McIntyre · 1889
’Tis charming for to view windmill, Picturesque in vale or hill, Forcing up a sparkling rill, And cows enjoy with right good will Clear water brewed in nature’s still, And of it they do drink their fill.
No wonder they can make with ease In Oxford world renowned cheese, For cows enjoy the clear pure stream With rich, sweet grass makes best of cream.
Cow, you must treat her as a queen, When grass is dry cut her feed green, Its benefits will quick be seen For she is a grand milk machine; The system it is called soiling, But it repays for extra toiling.
