The meadow lands of Merrow
where cows and sheep do graze
low lying a touch boggy
perrenial grass a phase
of lustrous leaves, and wilder herbs
plucked out by thought and kin
inherent in domestic flocks
where healing doth underpin
Larks and meadow mushrooms
pipits and wagtails
some pretty meadow saffron
and of course the meadow Rue
a meal of grass and holistic fayre
The memory of mind
domestic cattle’s intuition
for the wild plants that they find
and feel healthier for the experience
the extraction with the cud
The meadow lands of Merrow
They all improve the animals blood
