The Milk Jug

Title:     The Milk Jug
Author: Oliver Herford [More Titles by Herford]

The Gentle Milk Jug blue and white
I love with all my soul,
She pours herself with all her might
To fill my breakfast bowl.

All day she sits upon the shelf,
She does not jump or climb--
She only waits to pour herself
When 'tis my supper-time.

And when the Jug is empty quite,
I shall not mew in vain,
The Friendly Cow, all red and white,
Will fill her up again.

[The end]
Oliver Herford's poem: Milk Jug
