boy with stick walking behind cow The sun was shining calm and bright, The meadow grass was deep; The daisies and the buttercups And overhead the sparrows sat And crooned upon the bough, And all the world was sleepy then, When Johnny drove the cow. The sun was like a flaming beast, The field was like the sea; The grass like angry snakes did hiss And wriggle at his knee. The sparrows turned to goblin imps That yelled, and fluttered on, As through a world, gone raving mad, The cow was driving John! cow chasing boy over brick wall |
