by Unknown

The dew drops lie on the tangled vines,

And over the poplars Venus shines,

And over the silent mill;

Ko-ling, ko-lang, kolinglelingle

With ting-a-ling and jingle

The cows come slowly home;

Let down the bars, let in the train

Of long-gone songs, and flowers and rain,

For dear old times come back again,

When the cows come home.
