Living
The Re-echo Club: as by James Whitcomb Riley (Purple Cow)
From The Re-echo Club
Living
There, little Cow, don't cry!
You are brindle and brown, I know.
And with wild, glad hues
Of reds and blues,
You never will gleam and glow.
But though not pleasing to the eye,
There, little Cow, don't cry, don't cry.
