C J Dennis - The Martyr of BoviniaC J Dennis - The Martyr of Bovinia
Work rating: Low


She milked the cow; and all the morn was hushed -   (It was a beast that never kicked or rushed) The startled dicky-birds of early Spring   Sat up amazed to mark this splendid thing, Nigh fainting with delight upon the bough . . . .           She milked the cow. She milked the cow; nor all the glory rare   Of that October morning could compare With that sweet sylvan scene; the grace, the charm   The rhythmic movement of her dimpled arm, Would make a poor bloke feel just anyhow . . . .             She milked the cow. She milked the cow.  `Twas at South Sassafras -   (Which is a cruel word to rhyme,alas) And all who gazed thereon decalred, with force,   It was sublime - except the cow, of course Who wore a patient frown upn her brow . . . .             She milked the cow. She milked the cow - at least, she said she did.   There was the milk in proof; and God forbid That I should doubt the statement in the least,   (I sympathised in private with the beast Who said - but still, what does it matter now?)             She milked the cow.
