Слушать(AI)Windmills And Stone Stables
Cows suffered in the days of
For want of water and from cold,
Now of good water they have
For it is pumped by the windmill.
No matter how well cows were
They suffered cold in their board shed,
But good stone walls now them enfold,
And they are warm and safe from cold.
Now they do enjoy their fodder,
And repay with their full udder,
If bran slops you on cow
Of milk it will increase the flow.
And in your efforts do not
But let them daily lick the salt,
And never let the dogs them chase,
But let them walk at their quiet pace.
