THREE COWS JUST STAND AND STARE.

WHAT IS THIS LIFE IF FULL OF CARE,

WE HAVE NO TIME TO STAND AND STARE?

NO TIME TO STAND BENEATH THE BOUGHS

AND STARE AS LONG AS SHEEP OR COWS.

NO TIME TO SEE WHEN WOODS WE PASS

WHERE SQUIRRELS HIDE THEIR NUTS IN GRASS.

NO TIME TO SEE IN BROAD DAYLIGHT

STREAMS FULL OF STARS, LIKE SKIES AT NIGHT.

A POOR LIFE THIS, IF FULL OF CARE,

WE HAVE NO TIME TO STAND AND STARE.
