What hour do the cows come home
to put themselves to bed,
to wander over to the barn,
and hang a heavy head?
I wonder what they dream about
when they have gone to sleep?
Of meadows full of clover flowers
or full of silly sheep?
Do you suppose a cow can snore?
It must be pretty loud.
Do they prefer to sleep alone,
or in a cow-y cloud?
Perhaps when days are long and warm
and Sun's in Summer's sky,
they'd rather not return at all,
and let us wonder why.
